Changes in the Erythrocyte Potassium in Patients with Cardiac Failure Treated with Digitalis

Thomas C. Clifford 1 and William Beautyman 1

1 Pittsfield General Hospital, Pittsfield, Mass.

The erythrocyte potassium shows a marked and statistically highly significant tendency to fall when patients with cardiac failure are treated with digitalis. In the small series reported here there appears to be a correlation between clinical response and the fall of erythrocyte potassium. It is suggested that the determination of the erythrocyte potassium may be of value in the management of such cases.
