cardiac glycoside

cardiac glycoside drugs

Digoxin (Digitek, Lanoxin)

Indication cardiac glycoside

Atrial fibrillation, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

Mechanism cardiac glycoside on Atrial fibrillation

Direct suppression of the AV node conduction to increase effective refractory period and decrease conduction velocity

Heart Failure

Inhibition of the sodium/potassium ATPase pump in myocardial cells results in a transient increase of intracellular sodium, which in turn promotes calcium influx via the sodium-calcium exchange pump leading to increased contractility

contraindication of cardiac glycoside
