Proarrhythmic effects of adenosine: one decade of clinical data

American Journal of Therapeutics
Amir PellegSteven P Kutalek

Abstract

In 1989, adenosine was introduced into the American clinical setting as an antiarrhythmic drug for the acute management of reentrant supraventricular tachycardia involving the atrioventricular node. During this decade of use, evidence for proarrhythmic effects of the drug have been documented. In addition to the mostly benign transient episodes of atrial fibrillation, several cases of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias induced by adenosine have been reported. This article summarizes the proarrhythmic effects of adenosine as they were reported in the literature as well as data from the manufacturer files. The causes of these adverse effects of adenosine are analyzed, and factors to be considered before using the drug are discussed.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Anti-Arrhythmic Drug Therapies

Anti-arrhythmic drugs are used to prevent abnormal heart rhythms. These medications are used in conditions including, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation and atrial fibrillation. Discover the latest research on anti-arrhythmic drug therapies here.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Understanding the mechanism of action of antiarrhythmic agents is essential in developing new medications as treatment of cardiac arrhythmias is currently limited by the reduced availability of safe and effective drugs. Discover the latest research on Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanism of Action here.
