Digoxin is used to treat heart failure and irregular heartbeats. It makes the heartbeat more strongly and in a more regular rhythm. It is frequently prescribed for atrial fibrillation, in which the top part of the heart merely wiggles instead of beating normally, losing a certain percentage of the normal force of each heartbeat and losing any steady rhythm. It does this by inhibiting an enzyme called ATPase, controlling the movement of sodium, potassium, and calcium in and out of the heart muscle.
