Digoxin is a widely used drug in patients with congestive heart failure. The present study compared the quality of life of congestive heart failure patients on one year follow-up period with two different dosing of digoxin (5/7 therapy and 7/7 therapy in whom the target serum digoxin concentration is maintained). Quality of life significantly improved in intervention group thus emphasizing the need for continuous dosing of digoxin based on target concentration.
