Abstract 8991: Prognostic Significance of Hyponatremia in Peripartum Cardiomyopathy: Insights from the Peripartum Cardiomyopathy in Nigeria Registry

IntroductionHyponatraemia is a well-described independent poor prognostic marker for heart failure (HF). However, its prognostic significance in peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is unknown. HypothesisWe hypothesized that hyponatremia will have prognostic significance in PPCM patients. MethodsIn this...

Description
Summary:IntroductionHyponatraemia is a well-described independent poor prognostic marker for heart failure (HF). However, its prognostic significance in peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is unknown. HypothesisWe hypothesized that hyponatremia will have prognostic significance in PPCM patients. MethodsIn this post-hoc analysis of PEACE registry results, we aimed to determine the prognostic significance of hyponatremia in PPCM patients. We consecutively recruited the PPCM patients from 14 sites in Nigeria and followed them up for a median of 18 months. Serum sodium was measured at baseline, and patients with hyponatremia (
