A rare case of cardiac arrest caused by hyponatremia
Original language description
Hyponatremia, characterized by sodium levels below 135 mmol/l, is the most prevalent electrolyte disorder worldwide. It presents with a wide range of clinical symptoms, particularly in the neurological and gastrointestinal domains, occasionally leading to cardiac arrhythmias. In our specific case, severe hyponatremia resulting from potomania resulted in sinus bradycardia with alternating atrioventricular block and subsequent cardiac arrest. Restoration of sinus rhythm was achieved following correction of the sodium levels. However severe hyponatremia and long-lasting CPR resulted in brain oedema, which ultimately led to brain death. Per national regulations, the patient was enrolled in an organ donor program, resulting in successful organ transplants. This unique case underscores the critical role of sodium levels in cardiac electrophysiology and highlights the necessity of monitoring electrolyte levels in patients experiencing cardiac arrest.
