Digoxin has been used in the management of chronic heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) for over 250 years. It is the only drug that combines an inotropic effect with a reduction in ventricular rate in AF. Therefore, in theory it should be an ideal treatment for HF, especially when there is co-existent AF.
