title: Osmolality measurements in heart disease.
abstract: A study of the variations of plasma and urinary osmolality in patients with acute myocardial infarction and heart failure of different origin was made. It was shown that the plasma osmolality may be related to the clinical evolution of heart disease. The effectiveness of monitoring the osmolality in establishing the alterations of water-electrolyte balance is also reported.
