Increased Digitalis Tolerance in Uremic Patients

A prospective study was undertaken to determine the incidence of digitalis toxicity in patients with an elevated plasma digoxin in relation to the plasma creatinine and accumulated some evidence that digitalis tolerance is in fact increased in uremic patients in relationto the plasma concentration.

The average apparent volume of distribution of digoxin in dialysis dependent patients was found to be reduced by about one third compared with that reported for individuals with normal renal function, but there was great variation.

THE EFFECT OF TOTAL BODY PERFUSION ON DIGITALIS TOLERANCE.

There was no statistically significant difference between the incidence of postperfusion electrocardiographic arrhythmias in patients who had been digitalized prior to perfusion and in patientswho had not received digitalis, and the application of this information to the administration of digitalis to patients undergoing open heart surgery is discussed.

Electrocardiographic Alterations Produced by a Decrease in Plasma pH, Bicarbonate and Sodium as Compared with those Produced by an Increase in Potassium

The effects of a decrease in plasma pH, bicarbonate and sodium on the electrocardiographic pattern are compared with those produced by elevation of serum potassium and lithium in the dog and are correlated with those found in isolated nerve and muscle preparations.
