Abstract

 Background: Heart failure is one of the most common major diagnoses and places a great burden for health care systems. Hyponatremia is an independent predictor of mortality for patients with heart failure, especially in group with reduced ejection fraction.  Objectives: To describe clinical, subclinical features and survey the prognostic value  of mortality within 60 days after discharge of hyponatremia in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction at Can Tho Central General Hospital 2022-2023. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional with a follow-up study was carried out on 108 patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction at Cardiovascular Center – Can Tho Central General Hospital. Results: The median blood sodium concentration was 136 mmol/L, the minimum value was 104 mmol/L and the maximum value was 145 mmol/L. The value of serum sodium concentration in the prognosis of 60-day mortality in patients with heart failure reduced ejection fraction at the cut-off point 130 mmol/L had a sensitivity of  97.8%, a specificity of 61.1%, AUC of 0.855. Conclusions: Hyponatremia has the potential to predict mortality within 60 days after discharge in patients with heart failure reduced ejection fraction.
