blurred vision. As you are assessing him, he tells you that he has congestive
heart failure and atrial fibrillation, and takes numerous medications. The cardiac
monitor reveals atrial fibrillation with a ventricular rate of 50 beats/min. Which
of the following medications is MOST likely responsible for this patient's
clinical presentation? - ANSWER-Digoxin.
This patient has classic signs of digitalis toxicity. Digoxin is commonly
prescribed to patients with congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation (A-Fib)
or atrial flutter (A-Flutter). Its positive inotropic effects increase cardiac
contractility and maintain cardiac output, while its negative chronotropic effects
control the ventricular rate of the A-Fib or A-Flutter. Digitalis preparations (ie,
Lanoxin, Digoxin) have a narrow therapeutic index—that is, there is a fine line
between a therapeutic and toxic dose. You should suspect digitalis toxicity in
any patient who takes Digoxin or Lanoxin and presents with complaints such as
nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, anorexia, or blurred/yellow vision.
Additionally, virtually any cardiac dysrhythmia can be caused by the toxic
effects of digitalis. Treatment involves the administration of Digibind, which is
given at the hospital.
