Sažetak
Introduction. Hyponatremia is a significant and independent predictor of outcomes including re- hospitalization and mortality in patients with both acute and chronic heart failure. Even modest degrees of hyponatremia are associated with poorer prognosis. Results from some studies of hyponatremia in heart failure suggest the possibility that hypochloremia appears prior to hyponatremia in patients with heart failure. Material and methods. The study is designed as a prospective study that will include 276 patients hospitalized through the emergency department for an acute epizode of heart failure. Participants will be divided in two groups depending on initial plasma values of chloride (in one group patients with levels of chloride below 97 mmmol/L, and in the other patients that have higher levels of chloride than 97 mmol/L). The two groups will be compared for development of hyponatremia. Results. So far we had 15 patients with acute heart failure, two of which had initial hypochloremia. During the hospitalization one of those developed hyponatremia. Poster code: B-9-6.
