        | digoxin and potassium relationship |  | Definition 
 
        | So as we mentioned that digoxin is influenced by the binding site of potassium, under circumstances of low circulating potassium or hypokalemia, we have more unoccupied receptors, therefore more places for digoxin to bind. So we can have increased physiologic effects of digoxin and many, many side effects under circumstances of hypokalemia. However, when patients have the opposite problem, or they have hyperkalemia, digoxin may not be as effective as we thought it should be. In fact, actually hyperkalemia may be a sensitive sign for digoxin toxicity, because digoxin has outpaced all of the available potassium on the sodium potassium ATPase pumps. So high resting potassium in a patient who is on chronic digoxin or acute digoxin therapy may actually be a signal of toxicity

        | digoxin and parasympathetic innervation |  | Definition 
 
        | Now in the neuron, the sodium potassium ATPase pump controls parasympathetic innervation in the vagel nerve. So when potassium is out-competed by digoxin centrally, it actually results in longer parasympathetic innervation at the side of the AV node, which will lower heart rate. So it's a unique mechanism of action, because it makes the heart pump harder, but may also make the heart pump slower, particularly at high concentrations needed to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. |  |

 | Definition 
 
        | Now, I mentioned that the digoxin increases contractility of the heart. But unique and different from all the other inotropes we discussed is it's actual ability to lower heart rate. Now, in the cardiac myocardium is not the only place where sodium ATPas is to be expressed. In fact, this channel was actually discovered in the neurons of shrimp, and it won the investigator a Nobel Prize for doing so in chemistry. |  |
