- Abstract: Digoxin is a commonly prescribed drug in the management of heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Despite its widespread use, most clinicians have little experience with recognising clinical signs and symptoms that might suggest a potentially lethal drug toxicity. We herein describe two cases with specific reference to the electrocardiographic changes induced by digoxin and discuss the predisposing factors for toxicity, recognition of possible toxicity and treatment approaches.
