AB  - Cardiac  glycosides  paralyze  the  Na+-K+-ATPase  pump  and  have  potent  vagotonic  effects.  Intracellular  effects  include  enhancement  of  calcium-dependent  contractility  and  shortening  of  the  action  potential  duration.  A  number  of  plants  (eg,  oleander,  foxglove,  lily-of-the-valley)  contain  cardiac  glycosides.  Bufotenin,  a  cardiotoxic  steroid  found  in  certain  toad  secretions  and  used  as  an  herbal  medicine  and  a  purported  aphrodisiac,  has  pharmacologic  properties  similar  to  cardiac  glycosides.
