Digoxin

The Generic name of this drug

Treatment Summary

Digoxin is a medication used to treat atrial fibrillation and heart failure symptoms. It was first approved by the FDA in 1954 and comes from the foxglove plant, which was studied by an English physician and botanist in the 1780s. This plant has been used to make medications since the 1250s, and Digoxin is one of the oldest cardiovascular medications still in use today.

Effectiveness

How Lanoxicaps Affects Patients

Digoxin is a medication that can help people with an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) by increasing the force of their heartbeat and slowing down their heart rate. Studies have shown that taking digoxin can lead to improved exercise capacity and fewer hospitalizations or emergency visits due to heart failure. However, it has a narrow therapeutic window and can cause potentially fatal side effects, such as ventricular fibrillation or complete heart block, in individuals who have pre-existing sinus node disease or AV block and take digoxin.

How Lanoxicaps works in the body

Digoxin helps the heart work better by decreasing the heart rate and increasing the force of heart muscle contractions. It does this by blocking a protein that regulates the entry and exit of sodium, potassium and calcium into and out of cells. This increases the amount of sodium and calcium in the cells of the heart muscle, making it stronger. Digoxin also stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which decreases neurohormonal activity and lowers the heart rate.

Lanoxicaps for Chronic Heart Failure

I've taken Lanoxicaps for over a decade and it's been incredibly effective for me. I had to switch to the Lanoxin form of the drug when Lanoxicaps were taken off the market, but I've since had allergic reactions and other bad reactions to the tablet. It's really unfortunate that there are now fewer medical options for patients with serious cardiac diseases.

Natriuresis-Guided Diuretic Therapy for Heart Failure

18+
All Sexes
Vancouver, Canada

Heart failure is a chronic condition that causes congestion and frequent hospitalizations. Diuretic doses are usually adjusted based on clinical judgment without an objective measure of response. This study will test the feasibility of using point-of-care urine sodium measurements to guide up-titration or down-titration of loop diuretics in ambulatory patients with heart failure. Participants will be assigned to one of three groups based on congestion status. Groups 1 and 2 will be randomized 1:1 to natriuresis-guided therapy or standard care. Group 3 will be observational. The 90-day pilot trial will evaluate feasibility, clinical outcomes, and usability of a urine sodium-guided titration strategy.

All Sexes
New York, NY

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the accuracy and feasibility of transdermal glomerular filtration rate (tGFR) assessment using relmapirazin (Lumitrace) and the MediBeacon tGFR system compared to plasma clearance measurement of GFR in adults with heart failure. The main question it aims to answer is the comparison of the transdermal-derived GFR for each participant using the MediBeacon tGFR to their nGFRBSA measurement. Participants will participate in a Screening visit that will take place within 15 days of the scheduled administration of Lumitrace and iohexol. On dosing day, participants will have the tGFR reusable sensor with disposable adhesive ring placed on their chest, and the MediBeacon Transdermal GFR System initiated to collect background fluorescence. Following an injection of Lumitrace and iohexol and the initiation of GFR assessments, participants will be followed at the study center for 10-24 hours. All participants will participate in a follow-up phone call approximately 7 days after the last exposure to Lumitrace and iohexol. Researchers will analyze the results to compare the tGFR values to the nGFRBSA measurements for each participant.

Clinical Decision Support Tool for Heart Failure

18 - 85
All Sexes
Boston, MA

This study is an investigator-initiated, cluster-randomized implementation trial evaluating a large language model (LLM)-based clinical decision support (CDS) tool designed to improve guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for adult patients with heart failure seen in outpatient cardiology clinics at Mass General Brigham. For eligible heart failure encounters, the CDS tool reviews existing electronic health record (EHR) data, including diagnoses, medications, vital signs, laboratory results, and recent notes, and generates brief, clinician-facing messages suggesting opportunities to initiate or optimize GDMT and highlighting relevant safety considerations. Messages are delivered to cardiology providers via Epic InBasket and/or institutional email prior to scheduled visits. The tool is advisory only and cannot place orders or change medications automatically; all treatment decisions remain at the discretion of the treating clinician and patient. Cardiology providers are assigned at the provider/clinic level to early implementation of the CDS tool versus usual care (no messages) during the initial phase. The primary outcome is GDMT optimization within 30 days of an index visit. Secondary outcomes include feasibility of CDS generation and delivery and a 30-day safety composite (e.g., heart failure hospitalization, acute kidney injury, hyperkalemia, hypotension or bradyarrhythmia plausibly related to GDMT).

The goal of this study is to learn whether stopping beta-blockers can help older adults with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) feel better and function better. This study will test whether "deprescribing" or stopping these medications in a careful, guided way can improve symptoms and quality of life. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: Deprescribing group: Beta-blockers are gradually reduced using capsules that contain decreasing doses. Usual care group: Beta-blockers are continued at the usual dose in look-alike capsules. All participants will: * Take study medicine for about 4 months * Have their blood pressure and heart rate monitored * Complete regular phone calls and questionnaires about how they are feeling This study does not involve any experimental medication. Participants active involvement in the study will last approximately 4 months. During these 4 months they will have 8 scheduled telephone visits.

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the drug finerenone (Karendia) can improve heart function in participants who are at risk for heart and kidney disease. The main question it aims to answer is whether adding finerenone to standard-of-care heart failure medical therapies will beneficially alter the heart structure and function of people who have risk factors for heart and kidney complications and whose left side of the heart is enlarged. The researchers will compare finerenone to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if finerenone improves heart structure and function. Participants will: * take a finerenone or a placebo tablet once a day for 12 months * have a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI; a safe, non-invasive scan to measure heart mass, stiffness and function) test at the beginning of the study and 12 months later * visit the clinic after one, three, six and twelve months to assess overall health and/or perform blood or urine tests
