N2  - Although elevated digitalis concentrations are often observed, symptomatic intoxications occur less frequently. We report the course in three patients with extremely elevated digitalis concentrations as examples of the poor correlation between measured serum levels and symptoms. In view of the cost of treatment by fab-fragments and the lack of a close dose-related effect of digitalis, we suggest restricting the use of fab-fragment therapy to patients with severe hyperkalemia or hemodynamically relevant arrhythmias.<p /> <p>Language: de</p>
