strophanthidin/stroke

The effect of acetyl-strophanthidin, a rapidly acting digitalis-like drug, was measured on peak flow velocity, stroke distance (an index of stroke volume) and minute distance (an index of cardiac output), determined by Doppler echocardiography in 21 subjects with a wide range of left ventricular

Use of digitalis in myocardial infarction is controversial. To determine the efficacy and toxic threshold, serial infusions of 3 mug/kg per min of acetyl-strophanthidin were given to six intact conscious dogs 24 hr before and 1 hr, 2 days, and 7 days after myocardial infarction induced by inflation

As a prelude to a study of severe ischemic heart failure, the therapeutic response of the ischemic ventricle to epinephrine and acetylstrophanthidin in nontoxic doses was determined in 24 intact anesthetized dogs undergoing a first episode of acute regional ischemia. A thrombotic obstruction was
