Abstract. We present a patient who developed asystole immediately after intravenous injection of regadenoson. After cardiopulmonary resuscitation, she recovered without clinical sequelae. Subsequent myocardial perfusion imaging with dobutamine showed normal perfusion, wall motion and ejection fraction. Regadenoson has a low incidence of secondor third-degree AV-block and only a few isolated cases of systole have been published. The exact mechanism by which regadenoson might cause asystole is unclear. Postulated mechanisms include vagal stimulation caused by central A2A receptor activation or by activation of A2A receptors in sympathetic afferent nerves, and increased production of endogenous adenosine.
