A comparison of verapamil and digoxin for heart rate control in atrial fibrillation.
PURPOSE Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common types of sustained dysrhythmia and there are some disagreements about its treatment. The goals of AF treatment include the control of ventricular rate, the establishment of sinus rhythm and the prevention of thromboembolic events. In this study, the effect of verapamil was compared to digoxin on heart rate control in patients with AF. ...

متن کاملBeta-blockers versus digoxin to control ventricular rate during atrial fibrillation.
Ezekowitz et al. (1) recently reported lack of benefit of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors on mortality in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) in whom estimated creatinine clearance was below 60 ml/min, as opposed to a beneficial effect in those with creatinine clearance above 60 ml/min. The researchers attribute this lack of benefit to a possible interaction between aspirin...
متن کاملDigoxin Use to Control Ventricular Rate in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Failure Is Not Associated with Increased Mortality
Introduction. Digoxin is used to control ventricular rate in atrial fibrillation (AF). There is conflicting evidence regarding safety of digoxin. We aimed to evaluate the risk of mortality with digoxin use in patients with AF using meta-analyses. Methods. PubMed was searched for studies comparing outcomes of patients with AF taking digoxin versus no digoxin, with or without heart failure (HF). ...
