Why the study?
Hyponatremia is a frequent in-hospital electrolyte disturbance in heart failure, and various electrolyte imbalances can occur as heart failure progresses.
This review outlines the current literature on the pathophysiology and management of hyponatremia in heart failure patients.

Hyponatremia in HF tied to AVP-driven hypervolemia; review leaves open optimal management strategies.
One of the most frequent in-hospital electrolyte disturbances is hyponatremia. Hyponatremia in heart failure (HF) is mainly associated with hypervolemia resulting from activation of baroreceptor-mediated hormones, such as arginine vasopressin (AVP), renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, and catecholamines. Various electrolyte imbalance can occur as heart failure progress. The goal of this review was to outline the current literature on hyponatremia in HF patients.
