May offer rapid option for atropine-resistant AV block post-inferior MI; hypothesis-generating case series leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
Does intravenous theophylline restore atrioventricular nodal conduction in patients with early second- or third-degree atrioventricular block complicating acute inferior myocardial infarction?
Intravenous theophylline rapidly restored normal sinus rhythm in a small series of patients with early, atropine-resistant AV block complicating acute inferior myocardial infarction.
Barry Bertolet (1995) studied this question.
