Abstract
The average lethal dose of digitalis was significantly larger in hypothermic cats than in controls at normal body temperature. Digitalis-induced cardiac arrhythmias also occurred much less frequently in hypothermia than at normal body temperature. The significance of these findings is discussed.Keywords
