The dried leaf of Digitalis purpurea; used as a tonic for the heart.<\/p>\n
Antiarrhythmic and cardiotonic drug that increases the force of myocardial contraction and increases cardiac output by increasing the contractility of cardiac muscle.<\/p>\n
A drug used to stimulate contractions of the heart is prescribed for certain forms of heart failure, such as congestive heart failure.<\/p>\n
A drug that assists in the maintenance of a regular heartbeat. It is a cardiac glycoside.<\/p>\n
Any of several drugs (e.g., digoxin, digitoxin) derived from foxglove plants (Digitalis genera) and sold under various trade names, used to strengthen heart muscle contraction and regulate cardiac arrhythmias.<\/p>\n
A pharmacological agent that increases the strength of heart muscle contraction.<\/p>\n
An extract from the dried leaves of foxgloves (Digitalis species), which contains various substances, including digitoxin and digoxin, that stimulate heart muscle. Used to treat heart failure, it is administered by mouth or, in emergency, by injection. High doses can cause nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and abnormal heart activity.<\/p>\n
An antiarrhythmic and cardiotonic drug, derived from the dried leaves of Digitalis purpurea, the common foxglove. It is also found in smaller quantities in the leaves of other plants, such as rhododendrons.<\/p>\n
An inherently existing compound employed in the formulation of the medication digoxin, which is prescribed to elevate the heart rate and enhance the vigor of the heart’s contractions.<\/p>\n
A substance derived from the foxglove plant for the treatment of heart conditions.<\/p>\n
