Determinants of the postpericardiotomy syndrome: a systematic review.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Chronic hyponatremia is common and associated with increased morbidity and mortality. However, whether treatment improves outcome in patients without significant symptoms is unclear. We here assessed the therapeutic outcome on clinical symptoms, neurocognitive and neuromuscular function in patients with chro...
