1 interaction related to SVT
Caffeine and theobromine from chocolate are competitive antagonists at A1 and A2A adenosine receptors. When intravenous adenosine or regadenoson is used for a cardiac stress test, or adenosine is used to terminate supraventricular tachycardia, recent methylxanthine intake can blunt the drug's effect and produce a falsely normal stress test or a failure to convert the arrhythmia.
