Adenosine is administered to human patients by continuous intravenous infusion at levels at which the heart blocking action of adenosine is not detected, to modify the hemodynamic properties of the patient. Specific indications of use are induction of controlled hypotension, control of hypertensive crisis, effecting preferential coronary vasodilation, increasing blood flow in a coronary artery graft, increasing cardiac output, reducing platelet loss during coronary bypass surgery and facilitation of the induction of cardioplegia. A unit dosage form of adenosine and use of adenosine for the manufacture of medicaments for certain medical indications are further disclosed. |
