Adenosine administration in supraventricular tachycardia
The ECG during symptoms was strongly suggestive of typical atrial flutter. After adenosine administration, the heart rate slowed for a few seconds because of 3:1 atrioventricular (AV) conduction, but it then changed to 1:1 conduction response (Fig. 1). This was associated with haemodynamic instability, which required electrocardioversion. Although adenosine administration is usually innocuous, ...
متن کاملAdenosine: novel antiarrhythmic therapy for supraventricular tachycardia.
Adenosine (Adenocard) is a unique new agent for the acute treatment of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). Administered by intravenous bolus, it has an onset and duration measured in seconds and greater than 90% efficacy. Its primary effect is to slow atrioventricular nodal conduction, thus converting reentrant forms of PSVT to normal sinus rhythm. Side effects quickly dissipate wit...
متن کاملGemcitabine-induced supraventricular tachycardia.
The superior toxicity profile is one of the major reasons for the widespread use of gemcitabine in cancer treatment. Bone marrow suppression is the most common side effect, while non-hematological events are relatively infrequent. Cardiac toxicity is a rare complication and cardiac arrhythmia is even rarer. We report the case of a 67-year-old woman with metastatic breast cancer without a histor...
