Acetyl strophanthidin shows variable effects on ventricular premature beats and should not change practice; leaves open its role in arrhythmia management.
Does acetyl strophanthidin suppress ventricular ectopic activity in patients with frequent ventricular premature beats?
Acetyl strophanthidin has a variable effect on ventricular premature beats, suppressing them in nearly half of patients likely via enhanced vagal tone, but increasing them in over a quarter of patients.
Lown et al. (1977) studied this question.
