Abstract
The “usual” dosage of digitalis is only a guide. Different patients need different amounts of the drug, and numerous factors can and do intervene to change the requirements. Dosage must be carefully adjusted according to age and also in the presence of hypokalemia, preexisting hypercalcemia, advanced heart disease, endocardial fibrosis, or the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
