New Research Suggests Low-Dose Digoxin Cuts Heart Failure Hospitalizations by 25%

A meta-analysis of three studies, led by UMCG cardiologists and published in Nature Medicine and JAMA, indicates that a low dose of the centuries-old heart drug digoxin can reduce heart-failure hospitalizations by approximately 25%. This significant finding could potentially lead to a re-evaluation of digoxin's role in heart failure treatment guidelines.
