Assessment of Abnormal Serum Digoxin Concentration
ABSTRACT Cardiac glycosides have been used in the management of heart failure for more than 200 years and remain the only drug currently available for Long-term ambulatory use that have positive inotropic effect. The relatively narrow therapeutic- index of cardiac glycosides renders them particularly difficult to use, and the clinician should have a detailed understanding of the actions and ph...

METHODS The study included 99 consecutive patients hospitalized for digoxin toxicity. The other study criteria for the inapprop...
متن کاملRadioimmunoassay of serum digoxin in relation to digoxin intoxication.
Serum digoxin estimations were done in 98 patients receiving digoxin for heart failure of varied aetiology. Digoxin toxicity or the lack of it was determined on the basin of established electrocardiographic criteria. Fifty-two patients were classified as 'toxic' and 46 as 'non-toxic'. The difference is the mean digoxin levels between the two groups was highly significant (P less than 0.001). Th...
متن کاملQuinidine-digoxin interaction: cardiac efficacy of elevated serum digoxin concentration.
Cardioactivity due to elevated serum digoxin concentration (SDC) after quinidine (Q) and digoxin (D) was evaluated in six healthy subjects by means of measurement of systolic time intervals (STIs). Each subject randomly received basic treatments with 0.2 mg D and placebo (PL1). Randomized coadministrations with Q (1 gm/day), sparteine (SP) (0.8 gm/day), and placebo (PL2) were given for 7-day pe...
