Description
Summary:Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte disorder in hospitalized patients and has been linked to increased morbidity and mortality in various clinical settings. Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are at risk of developing hyponatremia due to complex interplay of pathophysiological mechanisms. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, risk factors, and prognostic value of hyponatremia in patients with STEMI. This was a retrospective study of 192 patients with STEMI who were admitted to a tertiary care hospital between July 2021 and December 2021. Patients were divided into two groups based on their serum sodium levels during hospitalization: Hyponatremia group (serum sodium
