Abstract
Considering the extensive use of digoxin in the treatment of heart failure and the recent findings that endogenous cardiac glycosides may have altered levels in many diseases, including heart failure, the demonstration of additive effect between cardiac glycosides can help in the understanding of recent clinical observations, including that lower than usual doses of cardiac glycosides are necessary for decreasing mortality in these patients.
