HEART FAILURE: TREATMENT WITH DIGOXIN

Course overview

Heart failure (HF) is a progressive clinical syndrome in which the heart fails to pump a sufficient supply of blood to the body because of structural heart damage. HF management requires lifestyle modification and drug therapy to reduce symptoms and prevent progression and adverse outcomes. This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of treatment of HF with digoxin, including its clinical presentation, symptoms, and treatment, and to aid in caring for the patient with this diagnosis. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
