The major therapeutic use of cardiac glycosides is the treatment of congestive heart failure, a condition characterized by decreased contractility of ventricular muscle(i. e., negative inotropism).... cardiac glycosides have a positive inotropic action, which may counteract the negative inotropism of the failed ventricle. 2, record 1, English, - negative%20inotropism

Increased contractility(positive inotropism) is a greater contractile force at a constant preload or ventricular volume. Positive inotropism allows the ventricles to eject more blood from the same diastolic volume; consequently, the stroke volume increases. 2, record 3, English, - positive%20inotropism
