The role of serum sodium in evaluating the prognosis of pulmonary hypertension associated with left heart disease

Previous studies have shown that hyponatremia was strongly associated with a poor prognosis of type 1 pulmonary hypertension, and our team's antecedent studies found that low serum sodium was associated with the severity and the length of hospitalization of pulmonary hypertension associated with left ventricular disease (PH-LHD). However, the relationship between serum sodium and the prognosis of PH-LHD remains unclear. This study aims to determine the clinical value of serum sodium in evaluating poor prognosis in patients with PH-LHD.
