Objectives. The purpose of this study was to determine the safety of adenosine infusion at 140 mu g/kg per min in conjunction with radionuclide imaging in 9,256 consecutive patients.Background. Adenosine produces maximal myocardial hyperemia directly with a rapid onset of action. In addition, when used in conjunction with radionuclide perfusion imaging, it has proven efficacy for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease in patients unable to exercise. Because the ultrashort half-life (70 years of age had an increased risk of developing AV block (age
