TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Powerlessness and apathy in digitalis intoxication JO - Praxis A1 - Eberhard, S. M. A1 - Woolley, S. A1 - Zellweger, U. SP - 772 EP - 774 VL - 88 IS - 17 N2 - A 85 year old female was hospitalized because of a bronchopulmonary infection. During the hospitalization she developed a progressive stupor. There was no sign of an intracerebral pathology, an electrolyte disorder, a new infection or a psychiatric diagnosis. Evaluation of the past history made a recently started digitalis medication responsible for the stupor. After discontinuation of digitalis the patient regained complete consciousness within two weeks. In the Holter-EKG we found once an asystole of four seconds duration without any symptoms.
