A method of diagnosing and treating arrhythmias caused by re-entry in the A-V node by administering to a human or animal an effective amount of adenosine that restores normal sinus rhythm.
This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 452,014, abandoned, filed Dec. 21,1982, which is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 196,652, filed Oct. 14, 1980, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,364,922.
This invention is concerned with the use of adenosine as an agent for the treatment of human beings. More particularly, this invention is concerned with the administration of adenosine to human patients by continuous intravenous infusion for, inter alia, control of blood pressure, use as a selective vasodilator, decreasing pulmonary vascular resistance, treating acute pulmonary hypertension in conjunction with idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome, in diagnosing pulmonary hypertension in conjunction with cardiac septum defects, in percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTCA), in coronary thrombolysis (CTL) and in radionucleide scintography.
