Background: Patients with decompensated heart failure, volume overload, and hyponatremia are challenging to manage. Relatively little has been documented regarding the clinical course of these patients during standard in-hospital management or with vasopressin antagonism.Methods and Results: The Efficacy of Vasopressin Antagonism in Heart Failure Outcome Study With Tolvaptan database was examined to assess the short-term clinical course of patients hospitalized with heart failure and hyponatremia and the effect of tolvaptan on outcomes. In the placebo group, patients with hyponatremia (serum Na+
