    "textoCompleto" => "<p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">To the Editor&#44; </span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In a &#8220;Letter to the Editor&#8221; recently published by Suarez et al&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span>&#160;a case of digitalis poisoning is described in an 82-year-old woman&#44; with a history of heart failure and chronic renal failure &#40;CRF&#41;&#46; The patient attended the emergency department with signs of confusion&#44; observing a nodal rhythm of 34 beats&#47;min and blood pH level of 7&#46;29&#44; potassium 6&#46;8mEq&#47;l&#44; creatinine 4&#46;8mg&#47;dl and digoxinemia 5&#46;4ng&#47;ml&#46; She was treated with intravenous hydration and haemodialysis&#44; with good results&#46; After reading the letter&#44; we would like to present a series of observations&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Given the significance of CRF as a main cause of digitalis poisoning in elderly patients&#44; the importance of individualised dosage of digoxin according to kidney function should be emphasised&#46; We have proposed a theoretical rapid digitalisation nomogram and maintenance doses of digoxin according to the Cockroft-Gault &#40;Clcr<span class="elsevierStyleInf">CG</span>&#41; glomerular filtration index &#40;figure 1&#41;&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2-4 </span>in accordance with the information obtained in bibliographic searches regarding recommendations for adjusting digoxin dosage in CRF and supported by our practical clinical experience&#46; If we apply this to the case presented&#44; the recommended maintenance dose would have been 0&#46;125mg daily &#40;&#189; tablet&#41;&#44; adjusted to the moderate CRF that the patient presented &#40;ClCr<span class="elsevierStyleInf">CG </span>of approximately 40ml&#47;min&#41;&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Furthermore&#44; we would like to insist on the importance of pharmacological interactions of digoxin as a potential risk factor of digitalis poisoning&#46; This point is especially relevant in polymedicated patients&#46; Along with the mentioned verapamil and amiodarone&#44; we should add other calcium antagonists such as diltiazem and diuretics such as spironolactone&#44; due to their frequent simultaneous use in heart disease patients&#46; In addition&#44; given the high incidence of infection in the elderly&#44; the interaction between digoxin and a variety of antibiotics&#44; in particular macrolides&#44; such as erythromycin and clarithromycin and tetracyclines&#44; should be kept in mind&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In their &#34;Letter&#34;&#44; the authors mention hyperkalaemia as a predictive risk factor concerning the severity of digitalis poisoning&#46; It should be clarified that hyperkalaemia has been described as a marker with poor prognosis only in acute digitalis poisoning and is not useful as a prognostic factor in chronic poisoning&#44; as seems to be the case of the &#8220;Letter&#8221;&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span>&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">As mentioned in the text&#44; the presence of sinus bradycardia or advanced blockage that do not respond to pharmacology and with a haemodynamic deterioration would be due to the use of a pacemaker&#46; The risk of electro-catheter &#40;internal pacemaker&#41; placement should be mentioned for patients with digitalis poisoning given the myocardial irritability induced by the drug&#44; where anti-digoxin antibodies could be used as a alternative therapy&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span>&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The &#8220;Discussion&#8221; refers to stomach pumping as a therapeutic option in digitalis poisoning&#46; It should be pointed out that digestive decontamination is only effective in patients with acute oral digitalis poisoning &#40;accidental intake or suicide attempt&#41;&#44; and provided that no more than two hours have passed since its consumption&#46; In the event of the patient being conscious&#44; oral administration of activated charcoal should be considered as the best therapeutic option&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Meanwhile&#44; the authors mention a rebound effect with differed increase of digoxinaemia after an initial administration of anti-digital antibodies in CRF patients&#46; In reference to this&#44; we would like to point out that this effect can occur in all patients&#44; since it is due to the pharmacokinetic behaviour of digoxin and not to an alteration in kidney function&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span>&#160;After administering the anti-digital antibodies&#44; in 1-2 minutes&#44; the free digoxin in the blood is quickly reduced to values close to zero&#44; due to the formation of anti-digital digoxin-antibody complexes&#44; which creates a concentration gradient that promotes mobilisation of tissue digoxin to the blood where it is newly activated by the formation of antibody complexes which are still free&#46; This mobilisation involves an increase in the total digoxin in blood and represents an index of efficacy of the antibodies&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">8&#44;9</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Lastly&#44; it should be added that the evaluation of the severity of intoxication cannot only consider digoxinaemia&#44; given the frequent discrepancy between plasma concentrations of the drug and the cardiovascular repercussions&#46; To calibrate the importance of the poisoning&#44; it is necessary to have data regarding kidney function&#44; plasma ion concentration&#44; ECG&#44; haemodynamic evaluation and systemic repercussions&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><a href="grande&#47;10481&#95;108&#95;9213&#95;en&#95;10481&#95;f1&#46;jpg" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><img src="10481_108_9213_en_10481_f1.jpg" alt="Proposed rapid digitalisation nomogram in the control of auricular fibrillation and digoxin maintenance dose according to the patient&#191;s ClcrCG"></img></a></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Figure 1&#46;

    "textoCompleto" => "<p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">To the Editor&#44; </span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In a &#8220;Letter to the Editor&#8221; recently published by Suarez et al&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span>&#160;a case of digitalis poisoning is described in an 82-year-old woman&#44; with a history of heart failure and chronic renal failure &#40;CRF&#41;&#46; The patient attended the emergency department with signs of confusion&#44; observing a nodal rhythm of 34 beats&#47;min and blood pH level of 7&#46;29&#44; potassium 6&#46;8mEq&#47;l&#44; creatinine 4&#46;8mg&#47;dl and digoxinemia 5&#46;4ng&#47;ml&#46; She was treated with intravenous hydration and haemodialysis&#44; with good results&#46; After reading the letter&#44; we would like to present a series of observations&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Given the significance of CRF as a main cause of digitalis poisoning in elderly patients&#44; the importance of individualised dosage of digoxin according to kidney function should be emphasised&#46; We have proposed a theoretical rapid digitalisation nomogram and maintenance doses of digoxin according to the Cockroft-Gault &#40;Clcr<span class="elsevierStyleInf">CG</span>&#41; glomerular filtration index &#40;figure 1&#41;&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2-4 </span>in accordance with the information obtained in bibliographic searches regarding recommendations for adjusting digoxin dosage in CRF and supported by our practical clinical experience&#46; If we apply this to the case presented&#44; the recommended maintenance dose would have been 0&#46;125mg daily &#40;&#189; tablet&#41;&#44; adjusted to the moderate CRF that the patient presented &#40;ClCr<span class="elsevierStyleInf">CG </span>of approximately 40ml&#47;min&#41;&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Furthermore&#44; we would like to insist on the importance of pharmacological interactions of digoxin as a potential risk factor of digitalis poisoning&#46; This point is especially relevant in polymedicated patients&#46; Along with the mentioned verapamil and amiodarone&#44; we should add other calcium antagonists such as diltiazem and diuretics such as spironolactone&#44; due to their frequent simultaneous use in heart disease patients&#46; In addition&#44; given the high incidence of infection in the elderly&#44; the interaction between digoxin and a variety of antibiotics&#44; in particular macrolides&#44; such as erythromycin and clarithromycin and tetracyclines&#44; should be kept in mind&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In their &#34;Letter&#34;&#44; the authors mention hyperkalaemia as a predictive risk factor concerning the severity of digitalis poisoning&#46; It should be clarified that hyperkalaemia has been described as a marker with poor prognosis only in acute digitalis poisoning and is not useful as a prognostic factor in chronic poisoning&#44; as seems to be the case of the &#8220;Letter&#8221;&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span>&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">As mentioned in the text&#44; the presence of sinus bradycardia or advanced blockage that do not respond to pharmacology and with a haemodynamic deterioration would be due to the use of a pacemaker&#46; The risk of electro-catheter &#40;internal pacemaker&#41; placement should be mentioned for patients with digitalis poisoning given the myocardial irritability induced by the drug&#44; where anti-digoxin antibodies could be used as a alternative therapy&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span>&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The &#8220;Discussion&#8221; refers to stomach pumping as a therapeutic option in digitalis poisoning&#46; It should be pointed out that digestive decontamination is only effective in patients with acute oral digitalis poisoning &#40;accidental intake or suicide attempt&#41;&#44; and provided that no more than two hours have passed since its consumption&#46; In the event of the patient being conscious&#44; oral administration of activated charcoal should be considered as the best therapeutic option&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Meanwhile&#44; the authors mention a rebound effect with differed increase of digoxinaemia after an initial administration of anti-digital antibodies in CRF patients&#46; In reference to this&#44; we would like to point out that this effect can occur in all patients&#44; since it is due to the pharmacokinetic behaviour of digoxin and not to an alteration in kidney function&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span>&#160;After administering the anti-digital antibodies&#44; in 1-2 minutes&#44; the free digoxin in the blood is quickly reduced to values close to zero&#44; due to the formation of anti-digital digoxin-antibody complexes&#44; which creates a concentration gradient that promotes mobilisation of tissue digoxin to the blood where it is newly activated by the formation of antibody complexes which are still free&#46; This mobilisation involves an increase in the total digoxin in blood and represents an index of efficacy of the antibodies&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">8&#44;9</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Lastly&#44; it should be added that the evaluation of the severity of intoxication cannot only consider digoxinaemia&#44; given the frequent discrepancy between plasma concentrations of the drug and the cardiovascular repercussions&#46; To calibrate the importance of the poisoning&#44; it is necessary to have data regarding kidney function&#44; plasma ion concentration&#44; ECG&#44; haemodynamic evaluation and systemic repercussions&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><a href="grande&#47;10481&#95;108&#95;9213&#95;en&#95;10481&#95;f1&#46;jpg" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><img src="10481_108_9213_en_10481_f1.jpg" alt="Proposed rapid digitalisation nomogram in the control of auricular fibrillation and digoxin maintenance dose according to the patient&#191;s ClcrCG"></img></a></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Figure 1&#46;
