Question 1 of 5
In this patient, digoxin most likely decreased which of the following cardiovascular parameters?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Stroke volume. Digoxin increases myocardial contractility, leading to more forceful contractions and improved cardiac output. This increase in contractility results in a greater ejection fraction and subsequently an increased stroke volume. End-systolic and end-diastolic volumes are not directly affected by digoxin. Systolic pressure may increase due to enhanced contractility, but the primary effect is on stroke volume.
