One of the oldest medications in our pharmacopeia is digoxin. It may be used for atrial fibrillation and heart failure, although not as a first-line agent. Despite this, digoxin use is on the rise. Join host, Geoff Wall, as he evaluates why more prescribers are using digoxin.

The GameChanger
No new randomized controlled trials have been published to justify the increased use of digoxin. However, when used, providers should routinely monitor digoxin levels.
