Core Tip |
This systematic review evaluates mortality with the use of digoxin in congestive heart failure (CHF) with sinus rhythm, atrial fibrillation with and without CHF, and post myocardial infarction. In patients with CHF with sinus rhythm, there continues to be a niche for digoxin use as an adjunctive therapy for symptomatic control with the understanding that there is no effect on mortality. The role for digoxin among patients who only have atrial fibrillation seems very limited; however, those with atrial fibrillation and systolic congestive heart failure or post myocardial infarction need further assessment as many questions remain regarding the benefit of digoxin in this population.
