the answer mentioned is Apex beat, which i find very surprising
i had answered ECG too
if any body can enlighten me more on this it will be great!!
following are the toxicity S/S
Symptoms
Anorexia
Nausea
Vomiting
Somnolence
Muscle weakness
Diarrhea
Yellow vision (xanthopsia)
Labs
Serum Digoxin Level over 2.5 mg/ml
Does not always correlate with toxicity
Toxicity may occur at low levels and not at high ones
[b]Electrocardiogram
Dysrhythmia
Premature beats
Bigeminy
Paroxysmal Atrial tachycardia with 2:1 AV Block
Atrial Fibrillation
Nodal rhythm
Ventricular Tachycardia
T Wave inversion
ST Depression
PR interval increased

Well, digoxin is given in pts with CHF as a positive ionotropic agent. So probably by assessing apex beat they mean assessing S3. As heart failure improves S3 disappears.
But I am still convinced that symptomatic assessment is probably a better criterion (stubborn).
ECG, dig. levels and K levels are all checked in dig. toxicity. They are not used to assess the effectivity of digoxin.
