Electrocardiographic Features of Digoxin Toxicity
• Virtually any arrhythmia is possible. None specific for digoxin toxicity
• Classic arrhythmias thought to be associated combine some SVT (↑ ectopy and automaticity) with slow ventricular rate (↓ AV conduction)
"Digitalis effect"
• Shortening of QT interval
• "Scooped" or "sagging" ST depressions
• J point depression
• Flattened/inverted/Biphasic T waves
