Does adenosine induce severe bradycardias and tachyarrhythmias in patients treated for tachycardias?
This review highlights the potential for adenosine to induce severe bradycardias and tachyarrhythmias, emphasizing the need for caution and awareness during its use in emergency and out-of-hospital settings.
Mark Mallet (2004) conducted a review in Tachycardias. Adenosine was evaluated on Proarrhythmic effects (severe bradycardias and tachyarrhythmias). A review of the literature highlights that adenosine, widely used for managing tachycardias, can induce severe bradycardias and tachyarrhythmias, emphasizing the need for greater clinical awareness.
