α-Acetyldigoxin increases the contractility of the heart by its positive inotropic effect on cardiac muscle.[citation needed] The effects of α-acetyldigoxin begin 3–4 hours after administration, and maximize after 6–8 hours.[citation needed] It is prescribed for congestive chronic cardiac failure class II, III and IV.[citation needed]
