Inhibits Na+/K+ ATPase in the myocardium^[1]
- Causes increase in intracellular sodium levels
- Results in reversal of sodium-calcium exchanger
  - Normally imports three extracellular sodium ions into the cardiac myocyte in exchange for one intracellular calcium being exported
- Sodium accumulates intracellularly and is exchanged for Calcium.
- Causes an increase in the intracellular calcium concentration increasing contractility
  - Also a lengthening of phase 4 and phase 0 of the cardiac action potential which ultimately decreases heart rate
Summary
- Inhibits NaK pump
  - Positive inotropy
- Negative chronotropy/dromotropy
  - Indirect vagal stimulator
