J Urol. 1975 Feb;113(2):178-9. doi: 10.1016/s0022-5347(17)59437-9.

Abstract

The effects of intravenous digitalis on the bladder were investigated in 36 patients. Digitalis consistently decreased the bladder capacity and in some it increased the intravesical pressure. The significance of these findings and its clinical applications are discussed.
