Although hyponatremia on admission is a predictor of poor prognosis in acute heart failure (AHF) patients, little is known about the association between changes in sodium level in acute phase and in-hospital mortality. This study was performed to clarify the impact of sodium level improvement in the early phase on prognosis in AHF patients.A total of 882 consecutive hospitalized AHF patients were retrospectively enrolled in this study. Sodium levels were evaluated on days 1 and 3 of admission, and patients were classified into three groups: patients with hyponatremia on admission and day 3 (hypo-hypo group); patients with hyponatremia on admission and normonatremia on day 3 (hypo-normo group); and patients with normonatremia on admission (normo group).Hyponatremia (sodium ≤135 mEq/L) was observed in 14.3
