    What is the MOA and physiology leading to the effects ofDigoxin?

    MOA 1:*a) Digoxin binds the K+ on the Na+/K+ pumppreventing Na+/K+ exchange; K+ therefore stays outside thecell while Na+ stays inside the cell;*b) Na+ is then no longerexchanged with Ca2+; Ca2+ accumulates inside the cell;*c) Oncethreshhold is finally reached and an action potential does occur,the accumulated Ca2+ is released; release of an increased amountof Ca2+ results in an increased ionotropic effect (i.e. increasedcontractility due to increased ions, Ca2+ in this case)*MOA

    2:*Stimulates CN X in the MedullaWhat is the c/u and rationale for Digoxin? Digoxin has 2 diff't c/u's b/c it has 2 diff't MOA's:*1)

    CHF*MOA = Inhibition Na+/K+ ATPase --> incr'dintracellular Ca2+ -->*incr'd contractility*2) AtrialFibrillation*MOA = Stimulation of CN X in the medulla -->decr'd AV node stimulation --> *decr'd HR**NOTE: *I usedDr. Francis's explanation (Physio notes p. 60) b/c Shahzad'sexplanation is clearly wrong!*1) He said that ventricularcontraction is due to Na+ h/w ALL muscle contractions is dueto Ca2+ while ventricular DEPOLARIZATION (notcontraction) is due to Na+.*2) He also said that the reasonslowed conduction through the AV-node is helpful for A-fib isthat it gives time for Na+ accumulation that leads to incr'dventricular contractility h/w changing ventricular contractility will

    have no affect on the atrium or A-Fib.
