Regadenoson for vasodilator myocardial stress – selective A2A<\/sub> receptor agonist<\/span><\/h2>\n

Regadenoson for vasodilator myocardial stress: Regadenoson, adenosine and dipyridamole are the three vasodilators which can be used during radionuclide myocardial perfusion imaging. Their response is mediated through adenosine receptors: A1<\/sub>, A2A<\/sub>, A2B<\/sub> and A3<\/sub>. \u00a0A2A<\/sub> receptor activation leads to coronary vasodilation [1] and some peripheral vasodilation. A1<\/sub>, A2B<\/sub> and A3<\/sub> activation are responsible for bronchospasm and high grade AV block. Regadenoson is a selective A2A<\/sub> receptor agonist<\/strong> while adenosine binds to all of them non selectively. Dipyridamole acts by reducing the metabolic degradation of adenosine and has an effect on all the adenosine receptors.<\/p>\n

United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved regadenoson in myocardial perfusion studies in 2008 [1]. Regadenoson is given as a single intravenous bolus through peripheral vein. There is no need for dose adjustment in renal failure. Regadenoson produces rapid coronary vasodilatation and flow increases to more than 2.5 times baseline. The effect is sustained for 2.3 minutes. Then it decreases to fall below twice the baseline value in 10 minutes.<\/p>\n

Regadenoson has been rarely reported to cause seizures [2].<\/p>\n
