Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Digitalis is a cardiac glycoprotein that is used to treat various heart conditions, including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and sometimes heart failure that cannot be controlled by other medication. One of its effects is to slow the heart rate. Therefore, it is a standard practice to withhold digitalis if the patient's apical pulse is below 60 beats per minute to avoid causing bradycardia, which can lead to inadequate heart pumping action and reduced blood circulation.
