Cymarin is a cardiac glycoside derived from the plant Apocynum cannabinum. It has been historically used for the treatment of congestive heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias, similar to digitalis glycosides. Its use today is largely obsolete due to the development of safer and more effective therapies.
