[Bathmotropic effect of panangin and strophanthin in patients with extrasystole]

The antiarrhythmic effect of Panangine and Strophantin was studied by way of rhythmography in patients with extrasystole of different etiology. The strophantin (0.25 mg) an Panangine (2 vials intravenously) tests, and therapeutic courses of Panagine (2 coated tablets 3 times a day for 5--7 days) or of Strophantin (0.25 mg) with Panagine (2 vials intravenously) for 7--10 days were conducted. A course of Strophantin with Panangine was given only to those patient who did not increase the number of their extrasystoles after the Strophantin test. Such a course resulted in the most striking antiarrhythmic effect (60.3% of the patients).
