[Results of a double blind study with segontin--digoxin in coronary heart disease. (author's transl)].

Segontin-Digoxin and digoxin were tested in a cross-over double blind trial in 30 patients with coronary heart disease and concomitant organic insufficiency in a cardiological specialist practice. As far as the coronary symptoms were concerned, treatment with Segontin-Digoxin was clearly superior to digoxin therapy alone. With regard to the elimination or improvement of signs of myocardial insufficiency, no difference could be established between the two preparations. A distinct lowering of heart rate and blood pressure, especially in hypertensives, was observed with Segontin-Digoxin therapy compared with digoxin alone.
