  • Title: [Effect of digitalis on hemodynamics during rest in patients with arterial occlusive diseases, stage II, without cardiac insufficiency].
    Author: Brecht T, Bodem G, Schäfer E.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1982 Jan 23; 112(4):111-4. PubMed ID: 7063821.
    Abstract:
    In 6 patients without clinical symptoms of myocardia insufficiency and with stage II occlusive disease of the femoral artery, blood flow volume at rest, arterial blood pressure and heart rate were measured before, during and for two hours after an iv. infusion of 1.0 mg desacetyl-lanatoside. Blood flow at rest decreased by 23% and peripheral vascular resistance increased by 34%. The increase in the blood pressure amplitude was compensated by a decrease in heart rate. The mechanism of action is discussed. It is concluded that patients suffering from stage II arterial occlusive disease do not benefit at rest from the prophylactic administration of digitalis.
