Key result
Adenosine triphosphate achieved maximum vasodilation faster than adenosine in patients with normal coronary arteries, with a similar side effect profile.
Why the study?
Does adenosine triphosphate infusion provide comparable coronary vasomotion to adenosine infusion in patients with normal coronary arteries?
Population
10 patients with normal coronary arteries, mean age 57±11 years, 6 male and 4 female.
Comparison
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) infusion vs Adenosine infusion

ATP may shorten time to maximal vasodilation in coronary testing; leaves open diagnostic equivalence and requires randomized validation.
Does adenosine triphosphate infusion provide comparable coronary vasomotion to adenosine infusion in patients with normal coronary arteries?
Adenosine triphosphate provides comparable coronary vasodilation to adenosine but achieves its maximum effect faster, suggesting it is a safe and effective alternative for pharmacological stress testing.
Kim et al. (1998) studied Normal coronary artery (n=10). Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) vs. Adenosine was evaluated on Coronary flow reserve (CFR), time to maximum effect (Tmax), and time to baseline (TBL). Adenosine triphosphate achieved maximum vasodilation faster than adenosine in patients with normal coronary arteries, with a similar side effect profile.
