Question 1

what medication does the er administer during a severe episode of svt caused by wpw syndrome? adenosine is contradicted with wpw right?

Accepted Answer

WPW: Procainamide(pronestyl) given intravenously has been successfully used in such cases. Adenosine can be given as long as the qrs is narrow. Electric cardioversion can also be performed. Beta blockers can also be tried iv. In my experience, procainamide has been quite effective although it is an older medication. Ideally a cardiologist would be available to treat such a patient.

Question 2

what drugs blocks the adenosine a2a receptor from widening the arteries ?

Accepted Answer

Caffeine: Caffeine and theophylline can block Adenosine a2a receptors.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Single dose: Adenosine is given as a single dose that may be repeated once. It is extremely short acting but has side effects. You may feel short of breath, hot and flushed, nauseated, dizzy, get a headache,  have chest pain, or feel like you're going to have diarrhea. The side effects all improve in about 1 minute and generally are gone in

Question 6

i had av node re-entry for 20 years. will adenocard (adenosine) help?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely...  : For about 6 seconds. Adenosine will terminate an episode of avnrt pretty reliably, but the drug only lasts a few seconds and the avnrt is free to start again afterward. Oh, and it's only available IV and should, for best effect, be given through a central line. What you really need is an electrophysiologist to ablate that for you and you can put it out of your head thereafter. Upenn is excellent.

Question 7

atomoxetine and adenosine?

Accepted Answer

No interaction..: Not sure if this is what you meant to ask..But there is no known interaction between the two medicines. Also, the half-life (time it takes for half to disappear) of Adenosine is less than 10 seconds and thus not likely to cause much problem even if it does. Adenosine is usually given via IV push hoping to correct a specific heart arrythmia n it is gone in seconds/minutes..Ask again if u need to..

Question 8

when will you use lidocaine versus adenosine?

Accepted Answer

Cardiac arrhythmias?: I assume you're asking about cardiac arrhythmias? Lidocaine affects ventricular ectopy and has no effect on av conduction. It's was used for ventricular tachycardia and has largely been supplanted by amiodarone. Adenosine has no effect on the ventricles. It blocks av conduction. It's used to terminate supraventricular tachycardias.

Question 9

is adenosine useful in converting some types of vt?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Adenosine is used as an antiarrythmic medicine. It must be prescribed by a cardiologist who is very familiar with your cardiac status and will pick the best drug to control VT.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

No: We have no really good treatments for shingles, not even the anti-virals.  Time is the best treatment.
