Arginine-vasopressin is a hormone that plays an important part in circulatory and water
homoeostasis. The three arginine-vasopressin-receptor subtypes—V1a, V1b, and V2—all …

Electrolyte and acid–base abnormalities are a frequent and potentially dangerous
complication in subjects with congestive heart failure. This may be due either to the …

Background Hyponatremia (serum sodium concentration,< 135 mmol per liter) is a predictor
of death among patients with chronic heart failure and cirrhosis. At present, therapy for acute …

Aims Hyponatraemia is strongly associated with adverse outcomes in heart failure.
However, accumulating evidence suggests that chloride may play an important role in renal …

Rationale: Hyponatremia is associated with decompensated heart failure and poor
prognosis in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Objectives: We sought to …

Objectives: This study sought to examine the effects of vasopressin V2receptor antagonism
with tolvaptan on the changes in left ventricular (LV) volumes over time. Background …

Hyponatremia is known to be a poor prognostic factor in patients hospitalized with heart
failure (HF), however not well studied in Japan. The aims of this study were to characterize …

The present review analyses the mechanisms relating heart failure and hyponatremia,
describes the association of hyponatremia with the progress of disease and …

Background This study aims to delineate the incidence of electrolyte and acid-base
disorders (EAD) in cancer patients, to figure out the risk factors of EAD, then to assess the …

Hyponatremia in heart failure (HF) is an established predictor of adverse outcomes in
hospitalized patients with reduced ejection fraction (EF). However, there is a paucity of data …
