To evaluate the effect of early measurement of serum digoxin concentration (SDC) on therapeutical safety and efficacy in patients with recent-onset atrial fibrillation and heart failure. De novo ventricular arrhythmias, high-grade AV node or sinus node blocks were noted in 22%, this risk was positively associated with endpoint SDC (mean SDC 0,88±0,78 ng/mL vs 0,45±0,71 ng/mL, p=0,039) irrespective of baseline characteristics. Empiric calculators for long-term digoxin monitoring correlated with both SDC (r=0,54.

This is due to the fact that degenerative or age-associated changes in the respiratory system play an important role in the formation of senile asthenia syndrome and a decrease in the age-related viability of the body as a whole. CT-scans of patients aged 80-90 years were analyzed (n=31).

They are widely expressed in numerous tissues throughout the body and function in different cell types with different membrane properties. Potential lipid roles in SLC4 function have been reported in experimental studies, focusing mostly on two members of the family: AE1 (Cl/HCO exchanger) and NBCe1 (Na-COcotransporter).
