To investigate the effects of digitalis on chemoreflexes in humans, we measured muscle sympathetic nerve activity (microneurography), minute ventilation, oxygen saturation, end-tidal carbon dioxide, mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and central venous pressure during stimulation of peripheral chemoreceptors with hypoxia, during stimulation of central chemoreceptors with hypercapnia, and durin...

OBJECTIVES Digitalis therapy (digoxin or digitoxin) in patients with heart failure is subject to an ongoing debate. Recent data suggest an increased mortality in patients receiving digitalis. This study investigated the effects of chronic digitalis therapy prior to heart transplantation (HTX) on posttransplant outcomes. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a retrospective, observational, single-cent...

The use of digitalis preparations dates to the 1500s. However, it was not until the late 1700s that Withering recognized that such compounds elicited an effect on the heart. By 1790, the cardiac effects of digitalis were labeled as their primary mode of action.' Digitalis compounds continue to be popularly employed for therapeutic control of various cardiac ailments. The term digitalis is used ...

T HE presence of ventricular tachycardia has been regarded as one of the major contraindications to the use of digitalis.'-8 Our clinical observations, however, have led us to use digitalis somewhat more freely in cardiac disease in general than is usually recommended.9-10 The four observations on three patients presented in this paper illustrate instances of the intensive use of digitalis in t...

Digitalis toxicity is a frequently encountered clinical problem. Drug interactions leading to digitalis toxicity are very common. Within this group, the interaction of digitalis and verapamil is increasingly recognized as an important cause of digitalis toxicity. The use of digoxin-binding antibodies represents a significant advance in the treatment of this problem and can be lifesaving in the ...

Light is important for the production of metabolites by plant cell culture. It is therefore necessary to evaluate the light conditions with respect to exposure time. Both enhancement and inhibition have been observed depending on exposure time and species. Callus culture of D. nervosa was established and effect of light and passage on cardiac glycoside production was studied. In vitro cultures ...
