Abstract

Digoxin-specific antibody fragments have been used successfully to safely treat ventricular ectopic activity, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, severe sinus bradycardia and atrioventricular block precipitated by excess digoxin. 1–3 These arrhythmias in general have been reported to respond within 30 minutes of administration of digoxin-specific Fab fragments. We describe the time course and electrocardiographic response of a patient with digoxin toxic atrial tachycardia to digoxin-specific Fab fragments.
