Description
The Effect of Digoxin on Mortality and Morbidity in Patients with Heart Failure
Objectives
- The primary outcome studied in the main trial was mortality. The secondary outcomes were mortality from cardiovascular causes, death from worsening heart failure, hospitalization for worsening heart failure, and hospitalization for other causes, in particular suspected digoxin toxicity.
- The risk of hospitalization, especially for worsening heart failure, was reduced with digoxin treatment. When the combined outcome was analyzed, the incidence of death from worsening heart failure or hospitalization for that diagnosis was markedly reduced.
