1 interaction related to nicotine
Nicotine produces sympathomimetic cardiovascular effects (faster heart rate, higher blood pressure, peripheral vasoconstriction) that can complicate the periprocedural setting in which intravenous adenosine is used for supraventricular tachycardia or pharmacologic cardiac stress testing. Direct interference with adenosine itself is mechanistic and largely shown in animal models; the better-documented antagonist that smokers commonly co-ingest is caffeine.
