title: [Serum level determination in patients with acute myocardial infarction under diphenylhydantoin therapy].
abstract: For the therapy of disturbances of the cardiac rhythm with phenytoin 3 different dosage regimes are examined, in which cases an oral application of phenytoin proves as not suitable. Only by a stepped infusion with following oral treatment a rapid saturation and therapeutically effective serum levels are achieved which are decisive for the effectiveness of the therapeutic measures.
