Current Concepts in Digitalis Therapy
Abstract
Rising Incidence of Digitalis Intoxication With the introduction of the purified glycosides it was expected that the incidence of intoxication would diminish. The patient on such maintenance therapy is assured a constant dosage because the uncontrollable variation in the potency of digitalis-leaf preparations is removed. The converse, however, has been true. Many recent reports indicate a mounting frequency of digitalis poisoning.46, 69 70 71 72 73 74 Digitalis is becoming a significant factor in cardiac death. The explanations given are that the glycosides are more toxic than leaf and that the premonitory symptoms are infrequent or absent. Both these contentions are without clinical substance. The pattern . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
