Please participate in the congestive heart failure case based survey on Hyponatremia |
|
|
|
|
A group of clinicians consisting of cardiologists and nephrologists is working together to develop a case based discussion of the key concepts and approaches to the management of Hyponatremia. We have all heard that optimal treatment pathways for hyponatremia are not well defined, and therefore management varies widely. In order to understand this variability, three congestive heart failure cases with varying complexity were chosen for the survey.
So, please participate and test your "Sodium IQ"
