text: Digitalis also has a vagal effect on the parasympathetic nervous system, and as such is used in re-entrant cardiac arrhythmias and to slow the ventricular rate during atrial fibrillation.
text: Our studies indicate that digitalis can slow ventricular rates in auricular fibrillation in the absence of heart failure, which is contrary to the contention that slowing of the ventricular rate in auricular fibrillation is effected by digitalis only in the presence of heart failure.
