Low-dose digoxin in patients with heart failure. Less toxic and at least as effective?
Chronic heart failure (CHF) is an increasingly large medical and epidemiological problem, associated with a high morbidity and mortality. Until recently, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, in combination with diuretics, were the cornerstone in the treatment of CHF. In many patients, digoxin was also part of the standard treatment, and it was assumed that digoxin would be of additional (l...
متن کاملIntermittent low-dose digoxin may be effective and safe in patients with chronic heart failure undergoing maintenance hemodialysis
A low dose of digoxin is known to reduce mortality and hospitalization in patients with heart failure; however, the safety of digoxin in treating patients with heart failure on maintenance hemodialysis remains controversial. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness and safety of digoxin at lower doses in patients with heart failure on maintenance hemodialysis using a retro...
متن کاملIndividual dosage of digoxin in patients with heart failure.
BACKGROUND After the publication of DIG trial, the therapeutic target of serum digoxin concentration (SDC) for the treatment of heart failure (HF) has been lowered (0.40-1.00 ng/ml). However, the majority of equations to calculate digoxin dosages were developed for higher SDCs. Recently, a new equation was validated in Asian population for low SDCs by Konishi et al., but results in Caucasians a...
متن کاملCorrelation between low T3 syndrome and mortality rate in patients with systolic heart failure
Introduction: This study was performed to evaluate the prevalence of low T3 syndrome among patients with heart failure and to assess the correlation between decreased level of tri iodothyronin (T3) with mortality rate. Methods: In a prospective cross-sectional study, 91 patients with systolic heart failure were admitted to Mohammadi hospital in Bandar Abbas in 2008.Thyroid function test w...
متن کاملClinical benefits of low serum digoxin concentrations in heart failure.
OBJECTIVES We sought to determine whether there was a relationship between serum digoxin concentration (SDC), including SDCs typically regarded as low, and clinical efficacy related to digoxin in patients with symptomatic left ventricular dysfunction. BACKGROUND Digitalis glycosides have been used for 200 years in the treatment of heart failure (HF), but the SDC required for optimal clinical ...
