Cardiovascular outcomes of these poisoning cases do
not strongly differ from those of acute digitalic intoxication,
although in this latter plasma potassium levels, considered
to affect prognosis, do not happen to be as high as in
C. odollam Gaertner poisoning, and acute renal failure is
unusual in acute digitalic intoxication (Lapostolle, 2000;
Lapostolle et al., 2008). Differences between acute digitalic
intoxication and acute yellow oleander cardenolides
poisoning, including higher plasma potassium levels, have
elsewhere been shown (Eddleston and Warrell, 1999;
Rajapakse, 2009).
