• cases of severe cardiac, hepatic and renal failure;
• individual intolerance to the components;
• atrioventricular block of different degrees and disturbed intraventricular conduction;
• myocarditis, endocarditis;
• low blood pressure, cardiogenicshock;
• the acute period of myocardial infarction;
• an attack of bronchial asthma;
• disease broken blood;
• acidosis caused by diabetes;
• overdose of cardiac glycosides;
• aortic aneurysm;
