Does low-dose adenosine infusion improve myocardial performance in patients after coronary artery bypass surgery?
Low-dose adenosine infusion after coronary artery bypass surgery safely induces peripheral vasodilation and improves cardiac output without causing hypotension or impairing ventricular function.
Öwall et al. (1993) studied this question.
