The association of hyponatremia and clinical outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction: a cross-sectional study

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Hyponatremia is a common electrolyte abnormality that has been associated with poor outcomes in several conditions including acute myocardial infarction (AMI). However, those studies were performed in the era before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), focused mostly on ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), and sodium levels up to 72 h of admission. The purpose of this study was to identify the association between hyponatremia and clinical outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction.

Methods

We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with a diagnosis of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and STEMI presenting at our institution from March 2021 to September 2021. Our independent variables were sodium levels on the day of
