Abstract: Perioperative digoxin concentrations were measured in 20 unselected adult patients undergoing coronary surgery. None of the patients were receiving treatment with digoxin. A digoxin-like immunoreactive substance was found in 16 patients postoperatively. This substance, if pharmacologically active, may have important clinical implications in the management of patients after open heart surgery.
