Abstract

Digoxin toxicity poses a challenge for patients using the drug. Electrolyte disturbances, renal failure, and drug interactions are common predisposing factors. Hypothyroidism can increase the risk of digoxin toxicity primarily. This research reports a 7-year-old boy receiving digoxin 6 μg/kg/day presented with nausea and second-degree atrioventricular block secondary to ongoing digoxin toxicity. Initiation of levothyroxine for subclinical elevation of thyrotrophin resulted in rapid resolution of symptoms and normalization of digoxin levels.
