Acetyldigitoxin
A cardiac glycoside derived from the digitalis plant that strengthens heart contractions and slows the heart rate, historically used in the treatment of heart failure and atrial fibrillation. Like digoxin and digitoxin, it works by inhibiting a sodium-potassium pump in heart muscle cells, increasing the calcium available for contraction. It has a narrow margin between therapeutic and toxic doses, requiring careful monitoring, and has been largely replaced by safer modern heart medications.

Mécanisme d'action
Inhibits the sodium-potassium ATPase pump in cardiac myocytes, increasing intracellular sodium and subsequently calcium via the sodium-calcium exchanger. This enhances cardiac contractility (positive inotropic effect).
