Abstract :Digoxin, a widely prescribed cardiac glycoside, is known for its therapeutic benefits in managing various cardiac conditions. However, its narrow therapeutic index poses a significant risk of toxicity. We present two cases of digoxin intoxication with pathognomic electrocardiographic (ECG) findings and visual disturbances. The detailed analysis of ECG abnormalities and visual disturbances associated with digoxin toxicity will aid in prompt diagnosis and appropriate management, ultimately improving patient outcomes
