Adenosine is an important regulator of cardiac rhythm and coronary blood flow with emerging applications in cardiac imaging and protection against myocardial infarction.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports adenosine applications in imaging and MI protection; leaves open clinical adoption without prospective trials.
An important regulator of cardiac rhythm and coronary blood flow, adenosine is finding valuable applications in treatment and diagnosis. It should soon be available for cardiac imaging and eventually as a protective agent against acute myocardial infarction and reperfusion injury. Study of adenosine's uses is providing insights into its biologic effects in a variety of organ systems.
