Abstract
Prof. G. Singer (Die Ärztliche Praxis, No. 5, 1929. Medizinisches Seminar) expresses itself in the sense that in some heart diseases with congestion both in the large and in the small circle (mainly with myodegenerations of the heart and aortic defects), when heart and diuretics do not work, - very often they achieve good results by introducing into the body simultaneously with digitalis (intravenously or per os) 10% calcium solution in the amount of 1 snt. 3 exclusively intravenously. Calcium, enhancing the effect of digitalis on the heart, at the same time moderates its side effects on the parasympathetic system and, according to the author, is a “whip and reins” for the digitalis (“Die Peitsche und der Zügel”).
