Digoxin & Antiarrhythmic Effects — ECG Academy Lesson
ECG signatures of digoxin (effect vs toxicity), rate-control agents, and antiarrhythmic drugs — recognition and escalation from the station.
Learning Objectives
- Distinguish digoxin effect from digoxin toxicity on the ECG
- Identify expected ECG effects of beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers
- Recognize when rate-slowing is therapeutic versus excessive
- Understand proarrhythmia and why antiarrhythmic patients need close monitoring
- Use medication context from handoff to guide monitoring focus
