Question 1

does adenosine monophosphate work for shingles ?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 2

adenosine scan,  , apologies, problems were, severe  upper chest pain spasms into neck , swallowing problems and loss of eye sight. leg pains. ?

Accepted Answer

Not using: Adenosine but there are other agents available that might work, would have a really frank talk with the nuclear medicine doc and the cardiologist  before going ahead!

Question 3

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 4

what is the sestamibi stress test with adenosine?

Accepted Answer

MPS: I believe you are referring to a myocardial perfusion scan, where technitium sestamibi 99 is the radioactive isotope that is injected intravenously so that images can can be taken of the heart at rest and 'stressed' or exercrsing -which brings us to the adenosine: a pharmacological agent used to 'stress' the heart instead of walking on a treadmill. Lexiscan is the stress agent of choice now.

Question 5

Question 6

how will i feel with first starting on adenosine (adenocard)?

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 7

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 8

how much does adenosine nuclear stress test cost?

Accepted Answer

Adenosine stress $$$: The cost depends on where you live and whether test is being done in a hospital facility or cardiologist office
the cost can vary from 800$ to 2000$.

Question 9

why would you have an adenosine/cardiolite stress test done?

Accepted Answer

Inability to run: Generally an Adenosine stress test is done because the patient cannot run on a treadmill, due to pain, balance issues, or some other reason.  The Cardiolite portion is often used with traditional stress tests too, as an additional test to check for reversible ischemia.

Question 10

what is the definition or description of: adenocard (adenosine) allergy?

Accepted Answer

Rash and skin reacti: Allergic reaction are different then side effect .  Skin reactions and rash are the most common.  Wheezing and shortness of breath are side effects and could've serious.  Heart block or very slow heart beats is a serious side effect but usually temporary and resolves after the effect of the medicine wears off
