Combined amiodarone and digitalis therapy before heart transplantation is associated with increased post‐transplant mortality
Abstract Aims Amiodarone and digitalis are frequently used drugs in patients with heart failure. Both have separately been linked to reduced post‐transplant survival, but their combined impact on mortality after HTX remains uncertain. This study investigated the effects of combined amiodarone and di...
