Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Predicting and Manipulating Cardiac Drug Inactivation by the Human Gut Bacterium Eggerthella lenta [PDF]
Despite numerous examples of the effects of the human gastrointestinal microbiome on drug efficacy and toxicity, there is often an incomplete understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Here, we dissect the inactivation of the cardiac drug digoxin by the

MELD score predicts outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure: A longitudinal evaluation
Abstract Aims Advanced heart failure (AHF) is characterized by recurrent episodes of haemodynamic instability and frequent hospitalizations, leading to a progressive decline in quality of life and high mortality rates. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of the model for end‐stage liver disease (MELD) score and its variations in ...

Digoxin and Platelet Activation in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: In Vivo and In Vitro Study
Background Digoxin use was shown to be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events in atrial fibrillation (AF). We hypothesized that digoxin may affect cardiovascular risk by increasing platelet activation.

Digoxin-induced retinal degeneration depends on rhodopsin [PDF]
Na,K-ATPases are energy consuming ion pumps that are required for maintaining ion homeostasis in most cells. In the retina, Na,K-ATPases are especially important to sustain the dark current in photoreceptor cells needed for rapid hyperpolarization of ...

Abstract Wild‐type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt‐CM) is a progressive and infiltrative cardiac disorder that may cause fatal consequences if left untreated. The estimated survival time from diagnosis is approximately 3–6 years. Because of the non‐specificity of initial symptom manifestation and insufficient awareness among treating ...

Effects of Age, Gender, and Comorbid Diseases on Serum Digoxin Levels During Digoxin Treatment
Objective:Digoxin is widely used in controlling ventricular rhythm in atrial fibrillation and heart failure. Therapeutic serum levels of digoxin are 0.5–2 ng/mL. Toxicity may occur after acute accidental or suicidal ingestion or with chronic therapy.

A pharmacokinetic study of digoxin holiday dosing practice in Egypt: A prospective-randomized trial
Background: Because of the narrow therapeutic index of digoxin, most cardiologists in Egypt give digoxin holiday for atrial fibrillation and heart failure, it is not clear if the interrupted digoxin regimens are effective since serum digoxin ...
