Heart failure using digitalis effective

Digitalis treatment of heart failure varies from person to person, special groups need to be cautious, during use should be closely monitored and observed adverse reactions, specific dosage should follow the doctor's advice. Digitalis is one of the commonly used drugs for the treatment of heart failure, but not all heart failure patients are effective. For atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate, cardiac enlargement with left ventricular systolic dysfunction, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, acute myocardial infarction, second degree and higher atrioventricular block Digitalis improved symptoms, improved quality of life, and reduced mortality in patients with heart failure (except those with pacemakers). However, for some special populations, such as elderly patients, patients with renal insufficiency, patients with hypokalemia, etc., the use of digitalis needs to be cautious, because these patients are highly sensitive to digitalis and prone to adverse reactions such as arrhythmia. In addition, during the use of digitalis, it is necessary to closely monitor heart rate, heart rhythm, potassium and other indicators, as well as observe adverse reactions of drugs, such as nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, yellow-green vision, etc. Therefore, before using digitalis to treat heart failure, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the specific conditions of the patient, including age, renal function, cardiac function, etc., as well as the presence of other diseases and drug interactions. At the same time, digitalis should be used under the guidance of a doctor, and regular review and adjustment of dosage according to the doctor's advice. Key information: Digitalis is one of the commonly used drugs for heart failure, but it is not effective for all patients with heart failure. 2. For atrial fibrillation and rapid ventricular rate, cardiac enlargement with left ventricular systolic dysfunction, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, acute myocardial infarction, second degree and above atrioventricular block Digitalis can improve symptoms, improve quality of life and reduce mortality in patients with heart failure (except those with pacemakers). 3. For elderly patients, patients with renal insufficiency, hypokalemia and other special groups, digitalis should be used cautiously. 4. During the use of digitalis, it is necessary to closely monitor heart rate, heart rhythm, blood potassium and other indicators, as well as observe adverse drug reactions.5. Before using digitalis for heart failure, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the specific conditions of patients, use under the guidance of doctors, and regularly review and adjust doses according to doctor's advice.
