May warrant suspicion for digoxin toxicity in unexplained pediatric arrhythmias; leaves open need for systematic data on presentations and management.
Case Report (n=1)
Digoxin toxicity should be suspected in children presenting with persistent emesis, altered consciousness, and bradyarrhythmias, even without a witnessed ingestion.
Davis et al. (2006) conducted a case report in Digoxin toxicity with multiple cardiac arrhythmias (n=1). Digoxin toxicity was evaluated on Clinical presentation and resolution of arrhythmias. Unwitnessed digoxin toxicity in a 3-year-old child manifested as multiple arrhythmias, including complete atrioventricular block and atrial flutter/fibrillation, which resolved with supportive care.
