Feedback:
Hypothyroidism slows digoxin metabolism and further slows the heart rate. The patient is presenting with signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism. The patient is not experiencing characteristic signs and symptoms of myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, or intermittent claudication.
