Postmortal tissue digoxin concentration and prefinal and postmortal plasma digoxin concentrations from 9 patients were determined using the 125J-digoxin radioimmunoassay. The concentration of digoxin in the myocardium of the left ventricle was 61.44 +/- 45.17 ng/g. In the right ventricle the concentration was 36.78 +/- 33.11 ng/g. Higher digoxin concentrations were found in the right atrium (34.93 +/- 21.86 ng/g) than in the left atrium (25.43 +/- 14.57 ng/g). In plasma samples taken after death approximately 62% higher digoxin concentrations were found than in samples of patients in prefinal state. Histological examination revealed positive correlation between in the high varying digoxin concentrations and the pathological conditions of the tissue structure.

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.
