Abstract
Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte abnormality in hospitalized patients with congestive cardiac failure. The prevalence in hospitalized patients is 20 – 25%. This study was done in RMMCH among congestive cardiac failure cases admitted between September 2016 and June 2018. The outcomes of the study was done based on functional status of left ventricle and other risk factors of cardiac failure were studied.
Keywords: hyponatremia, congestive cardiac failure, ejection fraction.
