Atrioventricular block cardiac glycosides

The risk of digitalis toxicity during the therapeutic use of cardiac glycosides is similar in children to that in adults, ranging in 12 separate published series from 12 to 50% (median 21%) (141). The most common non-cardiac effects are vomiting and feeding problems, and the most common cardiac effects are conduction defects, particularly atrioventricular block and ectopic rhythms, although (as in adults) any dysrhythmia can occur.
