摘要
The use of digitalis in congestive heart failure with normal sinus rhythm is still debated. While older uncontrolled, withdrawal studies from 1969 to 1983 provided incomplete data, with poorly documented clinical status and poor haemodynamic and exercise data, some patients did improve clinically when digitalis treatment was utilised.
