Abstract

Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of mortality globallyaccounting for roughly 7 million deaths.(1) The 30 day outcome in STEMI were 9% death, 23% reinfarct, 0.8%shock. In non ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction 30 day outcome was 3.7% mortality, 1.2% reinfarct, 0.3% shock.(2) Hyponaetremia is common after myocardialinfarction(MI), and clinical improvement is accompanied by a rise in plasma sodiumconcentration. However, prognostic value of Hyponaetremia in chronic heart failure is well established , but on the prevalence and prognostic importance of hyponatremia in the setting of acute myocardial infarction are lacking.
