Digoxin is the third most commonly prescribed drug, yet limited information exists about its use in outpatients. Therefore, 242 medical outpatients receiving digoxin at our hospital were studied to evaluate the appropriateness of its use, defined by: (1) current or past supraventricular arrhythmias and/or (2) left ventricular systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction less than 45 percent).
