Abstract

The indications for the administration of cardiotonic heterosides are quite similar in adults and children. However, their use in children raises several practical problems, generally related to differences in kinetics and/or tissular sensitivity. The pharmacodynamic properties and the kinetics of cardiotonic glycosides of digitalis are reviewed and therapeutic and toxicologic effects are discussed.
