title: [Use of glucagon in cardiac glycoside poisoning in patients with congestive circulatory insufficiency].
abstract: The use of glucagon in 25 patients with congestive circulatory insufficiency of stage IIB-III (according to the classification suggested by N. D. Strazhesko and V. Kh. Vasilenko) on the background of intoxication due to cardiac glycosides showed the drug to be effective as a cardiotonic and antiarrthythmic agent in 12 patients with stage IIB circulatory insufficiency. The data obtained also bear evidence that glucagon may be used in combination with cardiac glycosides, this treatment in some cases having a more marked positive effect on the hemodynamics in patients with decompensation than that encountered in treatment with glucagon alone. When used together with glucagon, cardiac glycosides did not induce intoxication.
