Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
The present study is done to determine the prevalence and prognostic implications of hyponatremia in the setting of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction. The study sample consists of 50 patients presenting with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Plasma sodium concentrations were obtained on admission and at 24, 48, and 72 hours thereafter. Patients with ckd stage 3, 4 and 5, CCF patients on diuretics, previous history of head injury and stroke, known hypothyroidism patients and nephrotic syndrome are excluded in this study. Hyponatremia, defined as a plasma sodium level <135 mmol/L (<135 mEq/L), is present in 20 patients within first 72 hours of hospitalization where 25% patients died. In rest of 30 patients, only 3.3% of patients died. Hyponatremia on admission or early development of hyponatremia in patients with acute STelevation myocardial infarction is an independent predictor of mortality and prognosis.
