The ECG in Fig. 1 shows a baseline sinus rhythm with a heart rate of 60 beats per minute (bpm). There is evidence of digoxin-induced ECG change (reverse-tick ST segment) that is most easily appreciated in leads V2–V5.
10 wrz 2024 · When asked to recommend a serum digoxin concentration that would serve as an indication for digoxin immune Fab therapy in the absence of symptoms for acute or chronic digoxin ingestion, a value of >4.0 ng/mL received a weak endorsement (median 6.5-7.0, DI 0.75), whereas for a value of 4.0 ng/mL, no recommendation (ie, lack of consensus) was ...
Digoxin enhances Vagus nerve activity, which slows conduction over the AV node. Digoxin also has a direct effect on AV conduction, by slowing it. This causes prolongation of the PR interval, which is considered a normal finding, unless severely prolonged.

30 maj 2006 · It may be recommended that adult men with clinically stable heart failure and normal renal function be prescribed a daily digoxin dose of 0.25 mg to achieve a therapeutic SDC <1 ng/mL. In heart failure patients who are elderly, are female, or have renal impairment, a daily dose of 0.125 mg would be more appropriate.
