Atrial Fibrillation Induction in a Pediatric Patient during Adenosine Administration
نویسندگان
چکیده
Adenosine by rapid intravenous bolus is frequently utilized in clinical practice as both a pharmacologic treatment for supraventricular (reentrant) tachycardia and in provocative testing for the diagnosis of Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. This is a case report of an otherwise healthy adolescent female who received adenosine during a provocative test for WPW syndrome. Immediately after receiving adenosine, the patient had a self-limited episode of atrial fibrillation. When administering adenosine, teams should be aware of the potential adverse effects and be prepared to treat appropriately.

Background: The 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhi-bitors (statins) have revolutionized the treatment of hypercholesterolemia. Some evide-nce indicated the role of nodal refractoriness and concealed conduction in anticipating the ventricular rate during atrial fibrillation. Recent evidence has indicated that statins can reduce the incidence of both supraventricular a...

We present the case of a 44 year-old man referred for coronary angiography with a history of coronary artery disease. Following administration of intra-coronary adenosine for fractional flow reserve (FFR) assessment, the patient developed atrial fibrillation (AF). While well described during non-invasive stress testing, this is the first description in the literature of AF following adenosi...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES The identification and ablation of atrial ectopic foci could complement the conventional empirical pulmonary vein approach and may increase the success rate of atrial fibrillation ablation. Although both adenosine and isoproterenol infusion have been reported to induce ectopics, no clear findings on their use during ablation have been published. Our aim was to invest...
متن کاملMyocardial infarction related atrial fibrillation: role of endogenous adenosine.
Exogenous administration of adenosine induces atrial fibrillation in up to 7.0% of patients. Animal studies affirm endogenous adenosine released in response to tissue hypoxia may play a mechanistic role in arrhythmias associated with myocardial ischaemia or hypoxia. Therefore, atrial fibrillation occurring early after the acute phase of myocardial infarction involving atrial tissue may be secon...
متن کاملIncidence of Atrial Fibrillation after Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery and Its Risk Factors in Shiraz, Iran during 2017-18
Background and Objectives: Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common disorientations after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and can affect the chance of survival in the first year after surgery. The present study aimed to determine the incidence of atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and its risk factors. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on...
