Optimal digoxin range for men is 0.5 to 0.8 ng/mL
PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS

The optimal serum drug concentration for digoxin among men in sinus rhythm with stable heart failure is 0.5 to 0.8 ng/mL. This range is associated with decreased risk of hospitalization and mortality compared with placebo. Higher levels are associated with either no reduction, or an increased risk of hospitalization and mortality compared with placebo.
