With regard to a paper of Leydhecker the basic principles of a combined treatment of ocular and cerebral vascular disturbances with Strophanthin, resp. Digitalis, Vasodilatators, and Hydrocortisone medicaments are again discussed. The influence of hypoxia in vasodilatation, the confirmation of alterations in visual field, as well as the effect of decreased blood viscosity on the circulation are discussed. The most important item, cardiotherapy, is emphasized once again. The peripheral effects of Strophanthin, especially on the brain, are confirmed by communications of other authors. The prognosis of this polypragmatic therapy in long-term observations is also limited.
