Hypomagnesemia is not necessarily magnesium deficiency. Specific electrocardiogram (ECG) changes may be seen. For those with severe disease intravenous magnesium sulfate may be used. The prefix hypo- means under (contrast with hyper-, meaning over). The root 'magnes' refers to magnesium. The suffix of the word, -emia, means 'in the blood'.
