Figure 1 Electrocardiogram on admission: Bradyarrhythmia with significant ST-depression (top). Minimal heart rate of the patient at the emergency department was 27 beats/min while vomiting. Heart rate after admission to the intensive care unit (middle). Initial bradyarrhythmia (47 beats/min) converted to normal sinus rhythm after application of the antidote (first arrow 80 mg, second arrow 40 mg). Normal repolarization after recovery (bottom). bpm=beats/min. The American Journal of Medicine 2012 125, e3-e4DOI: (10.1016/j.amjmed.2012.02.026) Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions

Figure 2 Leaves of Borago officinalis (left) and Digitalis purpurea (right). The 2 plants can be distinguished by the bitter taste of digitalis and the hairy appearance of borage. By feeling the leaves' surface, the difference is particularly obvious. The American Journal of Medicine 2012 125, e3-e4DOI: (10.1016/j.amjmed.2012.02.026) Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
