Summary
Experiments were staged on dogs with induced ventricular tachycardia. As shown, magnesium-disodium salt of EDTA had an antiarrhythmic effect. However, although in arrhythmia induced by ligature of the coronary artery this action was manifested only in some cases, in strophanthin intoxication MgNa2 EDTA had a constant distinct therapeutic effect.
