In the ED, adenosine is used to terminate supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs). It is also used by cardiologists for pharmacologic stress testing. Paroxysmal SVT has a prevalence of around 2.25 per ...

Adenosine is a short-acting endogenous molecule that is a purine nucleoside. The half-life is 6 seconds. Adenosine receptor activation results in multiple different actions depending on the location.

NICE, FRANCE — The use of adenosine to identify and eliminate dormant pulmonary vein conduction during radiofrequency ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) significantly reduces recurrent ...

Inhibition of vascular smooth muscle sodium-potassium-activiated adenosine triphosphatase (Na-K-ATPase) has been postulated as a central mechanism in enhancing vascular contractility. In the present ...

Adenosine sensitive ventricular tachycardia occurs in structurally normal hearts and arises from the right ventricular outflow tract (pulmonary infundibulum). This gives it a left bundle branch block ...

The number of overweight persons is greatly increasing worldwide - and as a result is the risk of suffering a heart attack, stroke, diabetes or Alzheimer's disease. For this reason, many people dream ...

Adenosine is a vasoactive purine metabolite produced during breakdown of high-energy phosphates in hypoxia. Tissue levels of adenosine are 2–3 times higher in the fetus than the adult (1) and have ...

Adenosine 5′-triphosphate, abbreviated ATP and usually expressed without the 5′-, is an important “energy molecule” found in all life forms. Specifically, it is a coenzyme that works with enzymes such ...

A 1 AR Brain (cortex, hippocampus, cerebellum), spinal cord, eye, adrenal gland, atria, liver, kidney, adipose tissue, salivary glands, esophagus, colon, atrium and ...

Few signaling molecules have the potential to influence the developing mammal as the nucleoside adenosine. Adenosine levels increase rapidly with tissue hypoxia and inflammation. Adenosine antagonists ...
