Abstracts. General pathology and therapy. About contraindications to the use of digitalis D. Scherf (Dioarztliche Praxis No. 1-1930) considers it unreasonable to be afraid of digitalis with sometimes concomitant cardiac weakness of bradycardia, since digitalis contributes to lengthening diastole, better filling the ventricles, increasing their contractions and increasing minute volume, and a trace, and improve blood circulation. In case of conduction disturbances, one should not always be afraid of using digitalis'a, since practice has shown that a complete heart block coming from digitalis'a sometimes improves the patient's condition. High blood pressure is not an absolute contraindication for digitalis therapy, as for reasons unknown to us, digitalis often lowers blood pressure.
