Core Tip	Patients with heart failure and hyponatremia have increased morbidity and mortality compared with subjects with normal sodium levels. Established treatment options for hyponatremia in heart failure such as fluid restriction or the use of hypertonic saline with loop diuretics have limited efficacy and compliance issues. Arginine vasopressin (AVP)-receptor antagonists increase sodium levels and exhibit beneficial effects on hemodynamic variables in patients with heart failure. However, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials examining the effects of AVP-receptor antagonists on mortality, quality of life and length of hospital stay in patients with heart failure and hyponatremia are missing.
