GameChangers: The Frequent Use of Digoxin
GameChangers: The Frequent Use of Digoxin
One of the oldest medications in our pharmacopeia is digoxin. It may be used for atrial fibrillation and heart failure, although not as a first-line agent. Despite this, digoxin use is on the rise. Join host, Geoff Wall, as he evaluates why more prescribers are using digoxin.
THE GAMECHANGER: No new randomized controlled trials have been published to justify the increased use of digoxin. However, when used, providers should routinely monitor digoxin levels.
Upon successful completion of this course, learners should be able to:
1. Apply information on the potential uses and harms of digoxin
2. Apply a strategy for monitoring digoxin in heart failure patients
