8 paź 2024 · ECG Features demonstrating the Digoxin Effect. Digoxin effect refers to the presence on the ECG of: Downsloping ST depression with a characteristic “reverse tick” or “Salvador Dali sagging” appearance. Flattened, inverted, or biphasic T waves. Shortened QT interval.
OVERVIEW. Digoxin toxicity is characterised by gastrointestinal distress, hyperkalemia and life-threatening dysryhthmias, including increased automaticity and AV nodal blockade. Digoxin has a narrow therapeutic index and chronic toxicity is more likely in the elderly and those with renal impairment. Chronic digoxin toxicity varies in severity ...
This article concerns adverse side effects of digoxin treatment, with emphasis on ECG changes, arrhythmias and conduction disturbances. Digoxin may cause all known cardiac arrhythmias.
28 wrz 2021 · The diagnosis of digoxin toxicity is primarily a clinical diagnosis based on symptoms, as well as ECG changes and potassium levels. The cardinal abnormality in acute digoxin toxicity is hyperkaalemia.
13 maj 2021 · interpretation of the digoxin level in digoxin intoxication Therapeutic level: 0.5-2 ng/ml (0.6-2.6 nM/L). For chronic outpatient therapy, 0.5-1 ng/mL (0.6-1.2 nM/L) is probably ideal.
DIGIFab® is indicated for the treatment of known (or strongly suspected) life-threatening digoxin toxicity associated with ventricular arrhythmias or bradyarrhythmias unresponsive to atropine where measures beyond withdrawal of digoxin and correction of serum electrolyte abnormalities are considered necessary.
