The Poison That Looked Like a Heart Attack
A
24:05Alexis KnightHOST
At Cynthia's lab, the verdict doubles Ruth's certainty.
A
24:08Alexis KnightHOST
Digoxin residue in the mug in measurable amounts, not enough for a full dose but unmistakably present.
A
24:14Alexis KnightHOST
Avery was not prescribed anything similar.
A
24:17Alexis KnightHOST
Ruth pours through his health file again.
A
24:23Alexis KnightHOST
She looks into plant-grade digoxin, sometimes purchased for advanced high school biology or chemistry classes, used to stimulate demonstrations of toxin effects on plant cells.
A
24:34Alexis KnightHOST
Her internet search turns up one school in the region years back where stored chemicals were reported missing, digoxin among them.
A
24:42Alexis KnightHOST
Digoxin is neither common enough for accidental contamination nor legal to share without careful logbooks.
A
24:48Alexis KnightHOST
Ruth calls the school's main office.
Ep 94: Grand Rounds: Atrial Fibrillation in the Perioperative Period
M
13:42Muxue LiGUEST
So these can reduce your risk of developing post-op SVTs as a whole, but they actually might increase the incidence of AFib.
M
13:52Muxue LiGUEST
Digoxin is another one.
M
13:54Muxue LiGUEST
So you'll see digoxin is not useful for prophylaxis, but later on you'll see that's actually quite useful for management and those who develop AFib.
M
14:04Muxue LiGUEST
But for prophylaxis, it actually showed increased mortality in some small observational trials.
9 MINS LATER
M
23:29Muxue LiGUEST
So easiest ones in our anesthetic cart would be Esmolol.
M
23:33Muxue LiGUEST
You can also use Metoprolol, Ditalizum, you'll have to, I imagine, get from pharmacy if it's not on the PIXIS.
M
23:39Muxue LiGUEST
And then Digoxin is also a good option here, especially if there is LV dysfunction present as well.
M
23:48Muxue LiGUEST
And then again, rhythm control is more so for AFib that's refractory to rate control.

Cardiac Antiarrhythmic Drugs: Classification, Mechanisms, Effects and Side Effects

A
26:58A M ThirugnanamGUEST
And combining intravenous verapamil with intravenous beta blockers can cause profound bradycardia and asystole.
A
27:09A M ThirugnanamGUEST
Now the drugs that don't fit neatly, digoxin, adenosine and magnesium.
A
27:15A M ThirugnanamGUEST
Digoxin inhibits the sodium potassium pump in the heart cell membrane, which increases intracellular calcium and has a mild positive inotropic effect.
A
27:29A M ThirugnanamGUEST
Its antiarrhythmic action comes mainly from increasing vagal tone, which slows the AV node.
A
27:37A M ThirugnanamGUEST
It is used for rate control in atrial fibrillation, especially in patients with heart failure or low blood pressure, often combined with a beta blocker.
A
27:51A M ThirugnanamGUEST
It controls the resting heart rate, but is less effective during exercise.
A
27:57A M ThirugnanamGUEST
The RATE-AF trial showed that low-dose digoxin was comparable to bisoprolol for symptoms in elderly patients with permanent atrial fibrillation, with fewer side effects.
A
28:13A M ThirugnanamGUEST
Digoxin has a narrow therapeutic window, and toxicity is common, especially in elderly patients with kidney impairment, low potassium or magnesium, and with interacting drugs such as amiodarone verapamil and some antibiotics.

Safe Cardiac Drug Selection During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Oct 11 · 1 Mention
A
15:38A M ThirugnanamGUEST
For prevention of recurrent supraventricular tachycardia, beta1-selective blockers, such as metoprolol or bisoprolol, are first line.
A
15:49A M ThirugnanamGUEST
Digoxin is an alternative, particularly when beta blockers aren't tolerated.
A
15:56A M ThirugnanamGUEST
If these fail, in women without structural heart disease, flecainide or propafenone can be used.
A
16:04A M ThirugnanamGUEST
Flecainide, in particular, has a reasonable safety record and is even used to treat fetal supraventricular tachycardia by giving it to the mother.

How to Read an ECG — A Systematic Approach for Students, Doctors, Fellows, Nurses and Critical Care Teams

A
24:55A M ThirugnanamGUEST
Horizontal or down-sloping ST depression of half a millimeter or more in two contiguous leads suggests subendocardial ischemia.
A
25:03A M ThirugnanamGUEST
But first ask, is this ST depression reciprocal to elevation somewhere else? Is it the mirror of a posterior infarction? Or is it secondary, caused by left ventricular hypertrophy with strain, by a bundle branch block, or by digoxin? Digoxin produces a characteristic sagging, scooped ST segment.
A
25:22A M ThirugnanamGUEST
Some call it the reverse tick or Salvador Dali's mustache.
A
25:26A M ThirugnanamGUEST
That is the digoxin effect, not toxicity.
Charles Cullen - The Angel of Death
C
6:17Candice DeLongHOST
Critical care, night shift, a place where the line between life and death was already impossibly thin, and where the drugs he had access to could make murder look like nature taking its course.
C
6:31Candice DeLongHOST
Digoxin, insulin, epinephrine, medications that belonged in a hospital, medications that, in the right circumstances, could kill, which meant something even more chilling.
C
6:43Candice DeLongHOST
Sometimes Cullen did not necessarily have to know exactly who would die.
C
6:49Candice DeLongHOST
He could simply put the poison into the system and wait.
C
8:41Candice DeLongHOST
"He stuck me." The next day, Helen Dean was dead, and when investigators later looked at her death, there was a disturbing detail.
C
8:52Candice DeLongHOST
Three elderly women at Warren Hospital had died with digoxin in their systems.
C
8:59Candice DeLongHOST
Digoxin is a legitimate heart medication.
C
9:02Candice DeLongHOST
In small, controlled doses, it slows the heart rate and steadies a failing heart, but in large doses, it turns on the patient.

Digoxin increases cardiac contractility, meaning the strength of the heart's contraction while slowing electrical conduction through AV or atrioventricular node Digoxin has a narrow therapeutic index, meaning the difference between a therapeutic dose and a toxic dose can be relatively small.

For adults, it can commonly test the nursing rules to hold digoxin and notify the provider if the pulse is below 60 beats per minute, although the patient's prescribed parameters always take priority.
