Abstract

Three cases of patients with symptoms of digitalis overdosage were presented. The principal manifestations included complex supraventricular dysrhythmias and atrio-ventricular conduction disturbances. In the discussion a special attention was paid to digitalis dosage. Multiple factors influencing plasma concentration of digitalis including pharmacokinetics, bioavailability and drug interactions with glycosides were described. Short review of toxic manifestations of digitalis was made and the treatment of digitalis intoxication was outlined.
