Effect of Hyponatremia (<135 mEq/L) on Outcome in Patients With Non–ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome

Effect of Hyponatremia (<135 mEq/L) on Outcome in Patients With Non–ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome

Hyponatremia is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We evaluated the effect of hyponatremia on outcomes in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome and non-STEMI. All patients had a sodium level determined at time of...

Zusammenfassung:Hyponatremia is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with heart failure and ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We evaluated the effect of hyponatremia on outcomes in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome and non-STEMI. All patients had a sodium level determined at time of admission, at 24 and 48 hours, and at discharge. Of 1,478 patients, 341 (23.1%) were hyponatremic (sodium
