This year we are celebrating the bicentenary of the publication, by William Withering, of An Account of the Foxglove and Some of its Medicinal Uses with Practical Remarks on Dropsy and Other Diseases (1). During these two hundred years digitalis has constantly been to the fore of medical thinking and it is appropriate that we should look back and examine the contributions which studies of this drug have made to medicine as we know it today. Some of the studies have been at the centre of fierce controversy and others have been of seminal importance in the development of new concepts.
今年，我们正在庆祝威廉·威瑟林所著的《毛地黄及其药用价值与水肿及其他疾病的实用论述》（1）出版两百周年。在这两百年间，洋地黄一直处于医学思维的前沿，我们回顾并审视这种药物的研究对当今医学所做的贡献是恰当的。其中一些研究处于激烈争议的中心，而另一些研究在新概念的发展中具有开创性的重要意义。
