General Info- Also known as digitalis gylcosides
- Extracted from a plant
- They have a positive *inotropic effect* on the heart
- Cardiac outputCardiac Glycoside: digoxin (Lanoxin)
Mechanism of Action*Inhibits* the sodium/potassium *ATP* (enzyme that pumps sodium ions out of myocardial cells in exchange for potassium ions) As sodium ions accumulate in the myocardial cells, *calcium ions are released* from their storage area in the cell *to activate a contraction*.Cardiac Glycoside: digoxin (Lanoxin)
Adverse Effects*Dysrhythmias* - ventricular = sudden cardiac death -> r/t changes in potassium levels, *hyperkalemia and hypokalemia (both can cause dysrhythmias...has to be just the right level of potassium*)
-drug interactions
-Visual disturbances:
-*Halos*
-Change in color perception
-PhotophobiaCardiac Glycoside: digoxin (Lanoxin)
Adverse Effects r/t POTASSIUM-*Potassium competes with digoxin for binding to Na+ K+ and ATPase* - so if there's already hypokalemia in body then *digoxin and potassium together increase toxicity* and if there's hyperkalemia already happening in the body the binding of digoxin is blocked so you have a reduction in therapeudic effects of digoxin so you really want to keep *potassium levels WNL* as much as possible so that you would be *3.5 - 5 mEq.L*Cardiac Glycoside: digoxin (Lanoxin)
Benefits-works really well to *decrease symptoms, increase exercise tolerance, decrease in hospitalizations* but has not been proven to prolong life.
-*Decrease in sympathetic tone*
-*Increase in urine production*
-*Decrease in the electrical conduction*
-*Decrease in HR* = Greater diastolic filling which is good
-Potential to *reverse the manifestations of HF*Cardiac Glycoside: digoxin (Lanoxin)
Nursing Considerations-*Long half life 1 1/2 days so...make sure too much is not given*
-Administer carefully
-*Narrow margin of safety*
-Keep digoxin level *in blood* between *0.5-2 ng/mL* (very low margin)
-Digoxin toxicity: increase in the dose = increase in risk
-*Monitor potassium carefully*
