Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: Two hundred patients divided into Group A (98 cases with maintenance digoxin therapy) and Group B (102 cases with ISKT). They were studied for 3 months and some of them for longer period. RESULTS: Comparing the pretreatment data: 1. heart rate (HR, bpm), 2. left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), 3. blood pressure (Bp, mmHg, calculated values as mean Bp for statistics). In group A, item 1. and 2. were significantly improved (item 1. 88 +/- 12 and 68 +/- 12, P < 0.01; item 2. 0.32 +/- 0.12 and 0.40 +/- 0.12, P < 0.01; item 3. showed no significant difference (126 +/- 21/90 +/- 6 and 128 +/- 21/80 +/- 5, P > 0.05). In group B, item 1., 2. and 3. were significantly improved (item 1. 90 +/- 10 and 70 +/- 11, item 2. 0.32 +/- 0.10 and 0.45 +/- 0.10, item 3. 128 +/- +/- 20/91 +/- 7 and 110 +/- 10/76 +/- 10, the p valves are the same < 0.01). As compared with the posttreatment data of both group A and B, HR, P > 0.05, there was no significant difference, LVEF, P < 0.05, there was significant difference, Bp, P < 0.01, there was significant difference. It showed no significant difference in total occurrence rate of digitalis overload or toxication between two groups also. CONCLUSION:
