Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside extracted from the foxglove plant, digitalis. It is widely used in the treatment of various heart conditions, namely atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and congestive heart failure that cannot be controlled by other medication. Digoxin preparations are commonly marketed under the trade name Lanoxin.
Actions
The main pharmacological effects of digoxin are on the heart. Extracardiac effects are responsible for many of the adverse effects (see below).
Its main cardiac effects are:
- A decrease of conduction of electrical impulses through the AV node, making it a commonly used drug in controlling the heart rate during atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter.
- An increase of force of contraction via inhibition of the Na+/K+ ATPase pump (see below).

The SVT is at bay for now, long QTc indicating plenty of Sotalol on board, low Digoxin levels even though he is getting that one in IV. Odd!
