Answer:
\rb. To accelerate the heart rate by interfering with vagal impulses
Explanation:
Digoxin is a cardiac glycoside which has both the cardiac as well as the electric effects. The most important electrical effect includes early parasympathomimmetic responses(decrease in heart rate) which are followed by late arrhythmogenic actions. Thus the parasympathetic effects of digoxin specifically on atria and AV node results in a decrease in heart rate while atropine in given in this condition because it is a parasympatholytic drug thus it reverses the bradycardia induced by digoxin by interfering with vagal impulses and increases the heart rate .
Hence the option \rb. To accelerate the heart rate by interfering with vagal impulses is true.
