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.
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.
13 maj 2021 · interpretation of the “digoxin level” in intoxication with other cardiac glycosides For patients with non-digoxin glycosides, digoxin level may be used as a qualitative assay. A positive “digoxin level” may suggest the presence of a cardiac glycoside, but the exact level lacks clinical significance.
8 sie 2024 · Digoxin toxicity is a clinical diagnosis that relies in part on ECG findings such as signs of increased automaticity and atrioventricular node blockade (premature ventricular contractions, slowed ventricular response), but also on clinical features, history of digoxin intake, history of other illnesses, and elevated digoxin concentrations.
