Adenosine Mnemonic for Medicine & USMLE

Study this Adenosine mnemonic and other mnemonics with Pixorize.

Adenosine is an antiarrhythmic drug that is commonly used to treat SVT. It works by increasing potassium efflux out of cells, causing hyperpolarization, and blocking calcium currents into the cell. This causes slowed conduction at the AV node. Adenosine is very short acting, with a duration of action lasting 15 seconds or less. Notably, the actions of adenosine can be blunted by theophylline or caffeine. Side effects of adenosine include a sense of impending doom, chest pain, bronchospasm, hypotension, and flushing.
