No, digoxin and beta blockers are not the same; they are different classes of medications used for heart conditions. Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside that increases the force of heart contractions and helps regulate heart rhythm, commonly used in heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Beta blockers, on the other hand, are a class of medications that reduce heart rate and blood pressure by blocking the effects of adrenaline. Both can be used in managing heart conditions but serve different purposes and mechanisms.
