Exercise 7

Isaac Doniego, a 77-year-old widower with heart failure, has been treated successfully with a combination of ACE inhibitors and diuretics. However, his symptoms worsen and became life threatening despite pharmacologic treatment, so he is hospitalized for evaluation and stabilization on a cardiac glycoside. Isaac should be cautioned about taking antacids because of the risk of:
A) Reduced absorption of digoxin
B) Arrhythmia
C) Digoxin toxicity
D) Increased force of cardiac contraction
