Digoxin as an emerging therapy in noncardiac diseases

Abstract

The cardiac glycoside (CG) digoxin is a generic drug approved for the treatment of heart failure and supraventricular arrhythmias. Over the past few decades, substantial strides have been made toward repurposing digoxin to treat various noncardiac diseases. Here, we evaluate recent insights into basic and clinical work related to noncardiac use of digoxin.
