Digoxin 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). ...
متن کاملReduced ventricular response irregularity is associated with increased mortality in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND-Variations in the ventricular response interval (VRI) during atrial fibrillation (AF) may be reduced in patients with adverse clinical outcomes. The properties of VRI dynamics associated with prognosis remain undetermined. METHODS AND RESULTS-In 107 patients with chronic AF (age, 64+/-9 years), we analyzed a 24-hour ambulatory ECG for VRI variability (SD, SD of successive differences...
متن کاملIncreased All-Cause Mortality Associated With Digoxin Therapy in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation
Digoxin is still commonly used in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with and without heart failure (HF) for heart rate control. Studies concerning the detrimental effects of digoxin therapy in AF patients are inconsistent. This updated meta-analysis examined the association of digoxin therapy with all-cause mortality in AF patients, stratified by heart function status. We included observational...
متن کاملDigoxin for patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure: paradise lost or not?
Digoxin is one of the oldest drugs in cardiovascular medicine, and it was traditionally used in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF). In the last 20 years, the use of this drug has markedly declined, and in the most recent 2012 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) HF Guidelines, it is stated that for patients with HF and a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤40%,...
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...
