This, coupled with the demonstration of safe rapid therapeutic digitalization and the adequate maintenance use of digitalis has prolonged the productive activity of patients with heart disease and has increased their life span. For many years restriction of salt and fluid intake has been accepted as a beneficial practice in the treatment of cardiac failure. The importance of the limitation of salt in controlling edema was again emphasized by Schroeder1in 1941. Proger, Ginsberg and Magendantz2in 1942...Bibliography1.
