Water intoxication resulting in ventricular arrythmias

[Adenosine induces ventricular arrythmias in hearts with chronic chagas cardiomyopathy].

Adenosine released during ischemia and hypoxia can induce ventricular arrhythmias. This phenomenon is also observed in Chagas disease. This study involved pharmacologic analysis of the arrhythmogenic properties of adenosine in healthy Sprague-Dawley rats (n=14) and in rats with chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy (n=14). Electrocardiographic and pharmacologic studies were performed on isolated hearts...
