Because many critical care patients have cardiac, trauma, or other complications that rule out usual exercise cardiac stress testing, the new use of adenosine for thallium imaging may be used for these patients. Because of its vasodilating properties, adenosine can be combined with thallium imaging to determine the presence of coronary artery disease in persons unable to exercise. This author describes the pharmacodynamics of adenosine, the process of thallium imaging, and the interpretation of the images which help the nurse prepare the patient and prevent complications.
由于许多重症监护患者患有心脏、创伤或其他并发症，排除了常规运动心脏负荷试验，腺苷在铊显像中的新用途可用于这些患者。由于其血管舒张特性，腺苷可与铊显像相结合，以确定无法运动的患者是否存在冠状动脉疾病。本文作者描述了腺苷的药效学、铊显像的过程以及图像解读，这有助于护士为患者做好准备并预防并发症。
