Adenosine in the emergency management of supraventricular tachycardia

SIMON P. ROS, Elizabeth A. Fisher, Timothy Bell

Abstract

In summary, adenosine is highly effective in terminating paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, and its very short half-life and benign side effects make it a promising alternative to other modes of therapy presently used. Further controlled prospective studies are needed before adenosine can become the drug of choice in the management of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia in children.
