[Enteral availability and therapeutic activity of proscillaridin-4'-methyl ether (author's transl)]. 1976

K D Krämer, and H Hochrein

20 cardiac patients with the clinical and radiological signs of heart failure were treated alternately intravenously and orally with proscillaridin-4'-methyl ether in a 2-period change-over procedure. With medium rate full saturation a steady state was maintained under observation of electrocardiographic parameters. The maintenance dose was determined to be 1.00 mg intravenously and 1.71 mg orally. Thus, relative enteral availability was 60%. In 70% of patients cardiac recompensation could be reached only by treatment with proscillaridin-4'-methyl ether. In 9 of 20 patients undesirable side effects consisted of laxative effects.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
