    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Cardiology

    Background:

    • Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside used to treat heart failure and arrhythmias.
    • Patient factors can influence drug efficacy and safety.
    • The impact of acid-base balance on digoxin pharmacokinetics is not fully understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between arterial blood pH and digoxin plasma levels.
    • To determine how arterial blood pH affects digoxin's pharmacokinetic parameters.
    • To elucidate the clinical implications of pH variations on digoxin activity.

    Main Methods:

    • A clinical trial involving 26 male hospitalized patients.
    • Digoxin administration via single oral dose, steady-state oral regimen, or intravenous injection.
    • Grouping patients based on arterial blood pH (7.20-7.53) and measuring digoxin plasma levels and clearance.

    Main Results:

    • A direct correlation was observed between arterial blood pH and digoxin plasma levels.
    • Higher arterial blood pH was associated with increased area under the curve (AUC) for digoxin.
    • Arterial blood pH showed an inverse correlation with total plasma clearance of digoxin.

    Conclusions:

    • Arterial blood pH is a significant factor influencing digoxin pharmacokinetics.
    • The observed correlations may explain reduced digoxin efficacy in patients with respiratory acidosis.
    • Monitoring arterial blood pH is crucial for optimizing digoxin therapy in certain patient populations.
