    Digitoxin and digoxin showed limited initial benefits for heart insufficiency patients, sometimes worsening conditions like cor pulmonale and causing arrhythmias. Patient response varied based on disease specifics and glycoside levels.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pharmacology

    Context:

    • Assessing the efficacy and safety of cardiac glycosides in patients with moderate to severe heart insufficiency.
    • Evaluating hemodynamic, clinical, and electrocardiographic responses to digitoxin and digoxin.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the therapeutic effects and potential adverse reactions of cardiac glycosides in heart failure patients.
    • To determine the reliability of glycoside levels and systolic time intervals in predicting patient response.

    Summary:

    • Digitoxin application showed minimal initial clinical or hemodynamic improvement in most heart insufficiency patients, with two cor pulmonale cases worsening.
    • Digoxin administration led to ventricular extrasystoles in 50% of monitored patients, irrespective of plasma levels.
    • Strophantin increased infundibular gradients in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy patients.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the variable patient responses to cardiac glycosides, suggesting disease-specific factors, severity, and administration speed influence outcomes.
    • Underscores the need for careful monitoring and individualized treatment strategies for cardiac glycoside therapy in heart failure.
    • Suggests that routine glycoside level monitoring may not reliably predict therapeutic success or adverse events.
