Does adenosine administration during atrial burst pacing induce atrial fibrillation in a patient undergoing transesophageal electrophysiology study for ventricular preexcitation?
Adenosine can be used to successfully induce atrial fibrillation during transesophageal electrophysiology studies for risk stratification of ventricular preexcitation when conventional pacing fails.
Hoyt et al. (2012) studied this question.
