More than 150 delegates from all over the world attended the XIV INTERNATIONAL MAGNESIUM SYMPOSIUM, which on Friday afternoon June 24 marked its final day.

It has been a two-day full-immersion meeting on “Magnesium in Health and Disease”, I believe we accomplished our goal to cover the major biomedical aspects of magnesium research with special emphasis in merging epidemiologic and clinical data with basic biological mechanisms. We hope you learned something and you enjoyed meeting with great experts. Magnesium is crucial in a wide array of pathophysiological conditions, and we believe we provided a background to implement its study and its beneficial effects in health and disease.

I would like to thank all the delegates for their active participation to this important meeting.

We received 38 abstracts, 13 oral communications, 25 posters.
