| Abstract | Background Adenosine as a stress agent is well tolerated and has a good safety profile but occasionally when administered at 140mg/kg/min it fails to produce a haemodynamic or symptomatic response. Studies have reported that between 4 18% patients do not respond to the standard dose . Splenic switch-off is a novel way of assessing adequacy of hyperaemic response, to adenosine. The aim of this study was to assess the number of patients that required an increase in dose to either 175 mg/kg/min or 210 mg/kg/min over a 12-month period and the adequacy of this response using splenic switch-off. |
