Diltiazem is one of the effective calcium channel blocking agents. Up to now it has not been reported in our country that whether the combined use of digoxin and diltiazem can increase the serum concentration of digoxin The results of a study of ten cases with chronic congestive heart failure showed that diltiazem can increase the serum concentration of digoxin from 38.7% to 49.6%. Four of the ten cases appeared to have signs of digitalis poisoning in the electrocardiogram.

D004077 Digoxin A cardiotonic glycoside obtained mainly from Digitalis lanata; it consists of three sugars and the aglycone DIGOXIGENIN. Digoxin has positive inotropic and negative chronotropic activity. It is used to control ventricular rate in ATRIAL FIBRILLATION and in the management of congestive heart failure with atrial fibrillation. Its use in congestive heart failure and sinus rhythm is less certain. The margin between toxic and therapeutic doses is small.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
