Taken from the foxglove plant, digitalis has been applied as a heart medication since the 1700s and is used to increase the heartbeat's force by increasing the amount of calcium in the cells of the heart. Such medications also can be used to control irregular heart rhythms.Yet these same medications as the result of a manufacturing defect can lead to toxicity, either via sustained use or through a single exposure.
