Digitalis, derived from the foxglove plant, primarily benefits patients with heart conditions, particularly heart failure and atrial fibrillation. It increases the force of heart contractions (positive inotropic effect) and helps to regulate heart rhythm by slowing down the heart rate. This can lead to improved cardiac output and reduced symptoms of heart failure. Additionally, digitalis can enhance overall exercise tolerance and quality of life for patients with these conditions.
