Zusammenfassung

Digitalis und Theophyllin gehören zu den ältesten Medikamenten in der Behandlung von Herz-Lungen-Erkrankungen. Trotz der langen Tradition ist die Evidenz widersprüchlich, teils eher negativ. Besonders groß ist das Spannungsfeld in der Geriatrie. Einerseits haben beide Substanzen noch einen Stellenwert, insbesondere in fortgeschrittenen Stadien der Erkrankungen bzw. als symptomatische Therapie, andererseits werden sie auf Listen als potenziell ungeeignete Medikamente für den älteren Patienten geführt. Der vorliegende Beitrag beleuchtet die aktuelle Datenlage zu beiden Substanzen auf Basis der aktuellen Literatur.
