Prevalence of Inappropriate Use of Digoxin in 136 Patients on Digoxin and Prevalence of Use of Warfarin or Aspirin in 89 Patients With Persistent or Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
American Journal of Therapeutics, 11/25/09
Lleva P et al. – The prevalence of inappropriate use of digoxin was 5%. Of 89 patients with persistent or paroxysmal AF, 70 were being treated with warfarin to maintain an International Normalized Ratio between 2.0 and 3.0, 15 were being treated with aspirin 325 mg daily, and 4 were not being treated with warfarin or aspirin. The prevalence of nonuse of warfarin or aspirin in patients with persistent or paroxysmal AF was 4%.
