Digoxin ECG changes: arrhythmias, conduction defects and waveform changes. Digoxin may be used in patients with heart failure, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and in selected cases of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia.

8 paź 2024 · The ECG features of digoxin effect are seen with therapeutic doses of digoxin and are due to: Shortening of the atrial and ventricular refractory periods — producing a short QT interval with secondary repolarisation abnormalities affecting the ST segments, T waves and U waves. Increased vagal effects at the AV node — causing a prolonged PR interval
8 paź 2024 · Digoxin toxicity ECG changes with dysrhythmias. Review of EKG features of digoxin toxicity and cardiotoxicity with example EKG
20 paź 2022 · The incidence of digoxin excess and toxicity, along with the potential associated arrhythmias, are presented here. The management of digoxin intoxication, including the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias associated with digoxin toxicity, is discussed separately.
19 maj 2024 · At therapeutic levels, digoxin can cause effects on the electrocardiogram, which must be differentiated from digoxin toxicity (see below). The optimal serum concentration of digoxin is 0.5 ng/ml to 1.0 ng/ml.
The diagnosis of digoxin toxicity is based primarily on clinical suspicion and clinical features (including ECG changes) suggestive of digoxin intoxication, and can be confirmed by assessment of serum digoxin levels.
13 maj 2021 · 1) some uncommon arrhythmias may particularly suggest the possibility of digoxin toxicity. Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia. Paroxysmal atrial tachyarrhythmias with AV block. Junctional tachycardia. 2) EKG revealing digitalis effect. Digitalis effect refers to the following morphological pattern:
