Does digitalis improve hemodynamics in normal and diseased hearts?

Population

Patients with normal or diseased hearts, including those with cardiac failure or undergoing stress

Intervention

Digitalis

Outcome

Hemodynamic effects (positive inotropic effect, cardiac output)surrogate

Digitalis exerts a positive inotropic effect on both normal and diseased hearts, supporting its therapeutic use in heart failure and potential prophylactic use during stress.
