## Introduction: Adenosine is the most widely used vasodilator stress agent for cardiovascular magnetic resonance (cmr) perfusion studies. with the standard dose of 140 mcg/kg/min some patients fail to demonstrate characteristic haemodynamic changes: a significant increase in heart rate (hr) and mi

β¦ Synopsis
The aim of the present study was to assess the tolerance and safety of a high-dose adenosine protocol (210mcg/ kg/min) in patients with inadequate hemodynamic response to the standard adenosine dose (140mcg/kg/ min) when undergoing CMR perfusion imaging. * p<0.05 vs. rest. DBP, diastolic blood pressure; HR, heart rate; RPP, rate pressure product; SBP, systolic blood pressure.
