Digitalis use in contemporary clinical practice: refitting the foxglove.
The researchers hypothesized that digoxin use for systolic heart failure (HF) has decreased during the past 15 years, despite clinical guidelines supporting its use. They fund that there has been a marked reduction in ambulatory digoxin use in the United States since 1997, with the largest declines in use observed from 1997 through 2001, and especially for patients with HF.
