title: [Case report on the problem of individual glycoside requirements].
abstract: A report is given on a patient with ischaemic heart disease, whose recompensation in tachyarrhythmia absoluta was for some times possible only by means of unusually high doses of digitoxin (fully effective dose to 5.72 mg, maintenance dose to 0.4 mg). The patient survived a severe decompensation with pulmonary oedema, which appeared under "normal" applications of glycosides, 2 1/2 years under this therapy. Thus it must again be referred to an individual glycoside treatment.
