Digitalis toxicity in infants and children

A R Hastreiter et al. Pediatr Cardiol. 1984 Apr-Jun.

Abstract

There is a narrow difference between the therapeutic and toxic ranges of cardiac glycosides. The availability in the past decade of radioimmunoassays for accurate measurement of these glycosides has resulted in an improved understanding of their pharmacokinetics and clinical use. Despite these advances, however, digitalis toxicity is still a common problem in infants and children.
