Abstract
1. (1) A case of digitalis intoxication in an elderly patient is reported in whom electrocardiographie signs of impaired A-V conduction without symptoms were the sole manifestations. 2. (2) This patient presented abnormal electrocardiographic findings on small oral maintenance dosage of digoxin, without prior digitalization. 3. (3) Attention is called to the fact that in the elderly, digitalis intoxication due to small doses of any digitalis glycoside may be manifested by electrocardiographic signs alone (prolonged P-R interval or partial heart block). The recognition of this phenomenon is of great practical importance in the management of the patient.
