Abstract
Physicians are finding increased applications for adenosine as a diagnostic and therapeutic modality for a variety of cardiac dysrhythmias. Its short half life and lack of reported major complications make it an ideal pharmacologic agent to utilize for diagnosis and treatment. Herein we report a case of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia induced by adenosine.
