Further evidence suggesting a limited role of digitalis in infants with circulatory congestion secondary to large ventricular septal defect

In infants with a large ventricular septal defect, the acute hemodynamic effect of intravenous digitalis varies depending on baseline systemic and pulmonary resistance. Digitalis may act adversely by increasing pulmonary blood flow with an elevation in left atrial pressure in severely congested infa...

Zusammenfassung:In infants with a large ventricular septal defect, the acute hemodynamic effect of intravenous digitalis varies depending on baseline systemic and pulmonary resistance. Digitalis may act adversely by increasing pulmonary blood flow with an elevation in left atrial pressure in severely congested infants with ventricular septal defects.
