AI Article Synopsis
- - Adenosine is being utilized more frequently to check for dormant electrical pathways after isolating the pulmonary veins during atrial fibrillation treatment.
- - Although adenosine has a short half-life and its side effects are usually temporary, there are potential serious and lasting reactions.
- - Operators need to be cautious of severe side effects, such as anaphylaxis and bronchospasm, when using adenosine in procedures.
Article Abstract
Adenosine is increasingly used to assess for dormant conduction following pulmonary vein isolation during atrial fibrillation ablation. While the half-life of adenosine is typically short and side effects transient, operators should be aware of more serious, lasting adverse reactions including anaphylaxis and bronchospasm.
