[Maintenance therapy with beta-methyldigoxin in the elderly. A study of 40 patients].

Abstract
The efficacy of beta methyldigoxin was examined in a group of 40 elderly patients who had been hospitalised due to congested heart decompensation. A good clinical response was obtained in 95.5% of cases with the presence of slight toxic phenomena in 2 cases only (4.5%). The paper underlines the excellent pharmacokinetic pattern of the substance used in the steady state. Steady state digitalemic values were within the acceptable range in 83.76% of cases, whereas underdosage and overdosage phenomena were observed in 6.87% and 9.37% of patients respectively.
