Abstract
In this brief review, the pathophysiology of hyponatremia and its clinical significance in the course of chronic heart failure (CHF) are illustrated. Moreover, issues concerning the optimal treatment for hyponatremia during CHF are addressed and discussed. In addition, advantages and limitations resulting from the use of vasopressin receptor antagonists, drugs that have recently emerged as the best available resource against hyponatremia, are highlighted.Entities:
