Effective refractory period
Effective refractory period: The time period in which there is weak conduction of impulses.
Adenosine
It is one of the naturally occurring nucleoside.
Action:
It causes a reduction in conduction velocity. It causes an increased refractory period and reduces automaticity in the AV node.
Pharmacokinetics:
Its duration of action is short. Its half life is approximately 10 seconds.
Therapeutic uses:
Acute supraventricular tachycardia (IV administration)
Adverse effects:
Flushing, chest pain, dyspnea, hypotension
