Association of best independent variables with DBP at crises using linear model.

	DBP at Crises
Independent Variables	β ± SE	p-Value
Serum Calcium (per 1 mg/dL increase)	16.21 ± 3.56	<0.001
Corrected Calcium (per 1 mg/dL increase) (N = 207)	−14.12 ± 3.74	<0.001
Age	−0.53 ± 0.12	<0.001

Covariates in the mixed model—age, sex, race, history of diabetes, BMI, use of proton pump inhibitors at home, use of blood pressure medications at home or hospital, use of oral magnesium at home, use of intravenous magnesium at hospital, serum magnesium at crises, serum calcium at crises, corrected calcium at crises, and serum potassium at crises. p-values < 0.05 defined as significant for best independent variables.
