Influence of Potassium Depletion on Myocardial Concentration of Tritlated Digoxin
The influence of potassium deficiency on myocardial H-digoxin concentration in the mouse was studied. Tritiated digoxin, 400 /Ag/kg, was injected intraperitoneally into mice, which were killed at varying time intervals, and the "H-digoxin was extracted. One-half of the mice were made potassium deficient by a diet free of potassium. In control animals, myocardial H-digoxin was maximal by 30 min ...

متن کاملDigoxin toxicity with normal digoxin and serum potassium levels: beware of magnesium, the hidden malefactor.
BACKGROUND In recent years, digoxin use has been on the decline, with decreased incidence of digoxin toxicity. Hence, digoxin toxicity, when it occurs, remains an elusive diagnosis to emergency physicians. OBJECTIVE To present a case of digoxin toxicity with normal levels of digoxin and serum potassium, but with severe hypomagnesemia. CASE REPORT A 66-year-old woman presented with junctiona...
متن کاملDigoxin toxicity due to interaction of digoxin with erythromycin.
those needing to abstain may unwittingly drink if they believe low alcohol drinks to be effectively alcohol free. Others wanting to limit their drinking by counting units may drink far more than their chosen amounts if they fail to make adjustments for extra strong drinks. There are two possible strategies for minimising these errors. Firstly, all drinks could have their alcohol content clearly...
متن کاملInappropriate use of digoxin in patients presenting with digoxin toxicity
BACKGROUND Digoxin remains widely used today despite its narrow therapeutic index and toxicity. The objective of this study was to investigate the percentage of inappropriate use of digoxin and long-term outcomes of elderly patients hospitalized for digoxin toxicity. METHODS The study included 99 consecutive patients hospitalized for digoxin toxicity. The other study criteria for the inapprop...
