The bicentenary of William Withering's now famous medical report entitled "An Account of the Foxglove and Some of its Medical Uses" has given us the occasion to analyze the state of the art. Cardiac glycosides in 1985 are considered tobe the basis for medical treatment of myocardial failure, together with diuretics and vasodilators in the more severe cases. Nevertheless, the controversy as to their exact place in the treatment of heart failure with sinus rhythm has never ceased. Although cardiac glycosides are of unquestionable value in tachycardia caused by atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter, the chronic use of these drugs in sinus rhythm is not generally accepted. The development of tolerance has been reported. It is of interest that Withering hirnself wrote: "-let it (foxglove) be continued until it either acts on the kidneys, the stomach, the pulse, or the bowels; Iet it be stopped upon the first appearance of any of these effects, and I will maintain that the patient will not suffer from its exhibition, nor the practitioner be disappointed in any reasonable expectation. " In West Germany alone, more than three million patients (about 5% of the total population) are constantly taking cardiac glycosides. These drugs are the most prescribed medicaments in many countries. Thus, we considered it worthwhile and necessary to review in a critical way today's knowledge about the foxglove; to report new findings and to evaluate old Statements.

The pharmacokinetics of digitalis glycosides have been the subject of extensive re view (IISALO, 1977; ARONSON, 1980; PERRIER et ai., 1977). Research on glycoside kinetics has progressed at a rapid pace, requiring continuing reevaluation of the state of our understanding of this problem. The present article focuses on the effect of disease states (renal, gastrointestinal, thyroid, and cardiac) on the absorption, distribution, and clearance of a number of digitalis glycosides. Evidence is critically reviewed, and interpreted with respect to possible clinical implications. A. Renal Insufficiency I. Strophanthin Strophanthin disposition in renal failure has been evaluated in only two studies. KRAMER et ai. (1970) determined an elimination half-life of 14 h in normals as com pared to 60 h in anuric patients. Similar results were reported by BRASS and Pm LIPPS (1970) using tritiated strophanthin. They found a half-life value of 18 h in healthy individuals as compared to 68 h in anuric patients. The findings clearly in dicate that the elimination half-life of strophanthin is prolonged in renal failure."

Bereits 1918 beschrieb Frey die gute antiarrhythmische Wirksamkeit von Chinidin, das auch heute noch in vie1en Uindern als Monotherapie und in einer Reihe von Kombina- tionspraparaten verwandt wird. Erste Erfahrungen mit der Anwendung von Verapamil bei HerzrhythmusstCirungen wurden 1966 von Bender mitgeteilt. Dieser Band enthalt die Referate eines Symposiums tiber experimentelle und klinische Ergebnisse mit der kombinierten Anwendung von Chinidin und Verapamil (Cordichin). Das Praparat ist als fixe Kombination mit einer wohl gegltickten Dosierung der Einzelkomponenten im Handel und findet Zuspruch in Klinik und Praxis. Es schien deshalb notwendig, unter Experten theoretische Grundlagen und die bisherigen klinischen Erfahrungen bei der Anwendung von Chinidin/Verapamil zu diskutieren. Die Beitrage zum experimentellen Teil enthalten die derzeitigen Vorstellungen tiber Wirkungsmechanismen der Natrium- und Kalziumantagonisten bei normaler und pa- thologischer Elektrophysiologie des Herzens und auch die Darstellung, daB andere Chinidinkombinationen mit einem zweiten Antiarrhythmikum nicht in gleicher Weise einen therapeutisch synergistischen Effekt erzielen wie die Kombination von Chinidin mit Verapamil. 1m klinischen Abschnitt dieser Zusammenstellung werden die Wirkungsprofile der Ein- zelkomponenten des Cordichin, sowie die Erfahrungen mit dem Kombinationsprapa- rat, auch mit den unerwiinschten Wirkungen der Monotherapie und Kombinationsthe- rapie beschrieben. Neben Vorhofflimmern stellt auch die sonst medikamentCis schwer zu regularisierende Vorhoftachykardie mit Block eine bevorzugte Indikation fUr diese Kombinationstherapie dar. Erfolgreiche Behandlungsergebnisse werden auch bei par- oxysmalen supraventrikularen Tachykardien und Kammerextrasystolen mitgeteilt.
