EXERCISE-ASSOCIATED HYPONATREMIA
1CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA.
Abstract:
Exercise-associated hyponatremia (EAH) is defined by an acute fall in the serum or plasma sodium concentration to below 135 mmol/L that occurs during or up to 24 hours after prolonged physical activity. EAH has been reported in nearly every form of endurance activity and has a common pathogenic feature of excessive water intake which is usually coupled with elevated vasopressin levels. Symptomatic EAH is uncommon but can be a cause of mortality in otherwise healthy adults and children. Rapid recognition and appropriate treatment with hypertonic saline are essential to maximizing outcomes and preventing death.

Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
