[Digoxin as a cause of chromatopsia and depression in a patient with heart failure and hyperthyroidism].
67 year old patient with chronic heart failure and persistent atrial fibrillation had overdosed glycosides for several months. The symptoms of gastrointestinal system and nervous system appeared after long term therapy with toxic doses of glycosides. Originally depression was diagnosed based on the central nervous system disturbances. Even though overdose of glycosides was diagnosed the blood serum glycoside level was within the therapeutic limits. Based on the precise analysis of the data, it was concluded that the reason for normal blood serum glycoside level in this case was coexisting hyperthyreosis.
