Measure
Digoxin Dosing Per Nomogram
Subjects will have their digoxin maintenance dose determined according to the nomogram we have developed. Dosing nomogram for digoxin: Simplified dosing nomogram for digoxin. The dose is determined by plotting a subject's creatinine clearance (x-axis) and ideal body weight (y-axis) on the nomogram. Alternatively, the dose may be determined by plotting creatinine clearance (x-axis) and gender/height (z-axis).
Standard Digoxin Dosing
This arm represents historical control subjects in whom the dose of digoxin was determined at the physician's discretion using traditional dosing methods.
