Scientific Evidence

Digoxin, a cardiac glycoside, works by inhibiting the sodium-potassium ATPase pump, leading to increased intracellular calcium levels and improved cardiac contractility. Studies have shown that digoxin reduces hospitalizations due to heart failure exacerbations and improves symptoms in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of digoxin in improving cardiac output and reducing heart rate in patients with heart failure. Additionally, digoxin has been shown to decrease the risk of hospitalization and improve quality of life in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Additional Information

• Digoxin may interact with certain medications, so it is important to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking.
• Monitor for signs of digoxin toxicity, such as nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances, and irregular heartbeat.
