Foxglove, Cardiac Glycosides, and Congestive Heart Failure

Foxglove, Cardiac Glycosides, and Congestive Heart Failure [Pg.355]

The outcome of this is to couple ATP hydrolysis with the vectorial transport of Na+ and K+ across the plasma membrane. The inhibition of the (Na+-K+)-ATPase by cardiac glycosides such as digitalis (an extract of foxglove leaves), which blocks the dephosphorylation of the E2-P form of the enzyme, is the basis for a number of steroid drags which are commonly prescribed for the treatment of congestive heart failure. [Pg.158]
