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.

The coffee paradox in adenosine-mediated antidepressant action. Depression (left) and coffee consumption (right) are both linked through adenosine signaling (center), creating a pharmacological ...

ATP, ADP and other nucleotides can be released by stressed or apoptotic cells into the extracellular environment. They function as autocrine and paracrine signalling molecules by activating ...

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 ...
