Resumen

La fibrilación auricular (FA) es la arritmia más frecuente, que provoca un ritmo cardíaco irregular y acelerado. Aunque no siempre es el fármaco de primera elección, la digoxina se sigue utilizando ampliamente, aunque existe una fina línea entre sus efectos terapéuticos y adversos y la mortalidad. Por ello, el objetivo de este estudio es buscar evidencia clínica sobre la correlación entre el uso de digoxina y la mortalidad en pacientes con FA. Así, se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica utilizando los descriptores "(Digoxin) AND (Atrial fibrillation) AND (drug therapy)" en las bases de datos PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (Scielo) y Cochrane. La búsqueda se realizó durante el mes de febrero de 2021. Tras aplicar los criterios de inclusión definidos, se seleccionaron 15 estudios. Tras el análisis, fue evidente el creciente número de estudios que relacionan la mortalidad con el tratamiento con digoxina en pacientes con FA y en asociación con comorbilidades, como la insuficiencia cardíaca (IC). Por lo tanto, aunque no hay consenso, la mortalidad fue mayor en los grupos de pacientes con FA, con desfibrilador cardioversor o no, que utilizaron digoxina; la mortalidad fue incluso mayor en los ancianos, los pacientes con enfermedad renal, los pacientes con FA sin IC y en ausencia de monitorización terapéutica. Dadas las pruebas presentadas en esta revisión, podemos afirmar que el uso de digoxina en pacientes con FA debe evitarse o realizarse con precaución y estrecha vigilancia.
