Abstract: (15028 Views)
Background: Heart failure is one of the common cardiovascular diseases and
digoxin has the positive effect on it. But unfortunately in spite of its positive effect on
heart failure therapeutic and toxic level of it in patients is different and close to each
other. The aim of this research was determination of digoxin serum level in failur
heart patients.
Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study 31 patients with heart failure
and consumption digoxin refer to clinic were assessment. Some important factors
including age, clearance creatinie, ejection fraction, urea, potassium, calsium and
digoxin level were measured.
Findings: The statistical analysis of data showed that there was a correlation
(r=0.57, p<0.01) between age and digoxin level. Digoxin level correlated positively
with serum urea (r=0.046, p<0.01) creatinine(r=0.049, p<0.01), and potassium(r=0.47,
p<0.01).
Conclusions: It was concluded that continues monitoring of digital level with due
attention to creatinine clearance and measurement of digoxin level for prevent of
digoxin toxicity was necessary was necessary to prevent digoxin toxicity.
