Despite extensive laboratory and clinical investigations, the exact role of electrolyte changes in the cardiac action of digitalis is still obscure. While it is well established that potassium and calcium are essential ions for the maintenance of normal heart function, the relationship and possible significance of these ions in the pharmacological and toxicological actions of digitalis have been rather controversial.
