The most constant action of digitalis glycosides is to shorten the local Q-T interval. A comparison of digitoxin, ouabain, digoxin and lanatoside C using as a criterion their ability to shorten the Q-T interval of the electrogram indicated that these glycosides were qualitatively and quantitatively similar, and that the magnitude of the effect was proportional to the concentration of the drug.
