Digoxin in HCM – Cardiology MCQ – Answer
Digoxin in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy – pick the correct statement:
Correct Answer: c) Low dose digoxin can be used to control ventricular rate in those with ejection fraction less than 50%, having NYHA class II-IV symptoms and permanent atrial fibrillation (Class Iib, level of evidence C, 2014 European Society of Cardiology Guidelines)
Being an inotropic agent digoxin can enhance the left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO). Even in those without LVOTO, digoxin is not recommended, except in the specific subset mentioned above, that too only as a Class IIb recommendation.
