Adenosine to Assess Complete Conduction Block During Catheter Ablation of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

"Subject will receive 6-24 mg of intravenous adenosine given rapidly for each PV in order to assess dormant PV conduction.~Subjects in this group will also receive isoproterenol to assess inducibility of AF with re-isolation of PVs and targeting non PV sources of AF if necessary.Isoproterenol will be infused through a femoral vein at rates of 5, 10, 15, and 20 μg/min for 2 minutes at each infusion rate."

Isoproterenol will be infused through a femoral vein at rates of 5, 10, 15, and 20 μg/min for 2 minutes at each infusion rate. The isoproterenol infusion will be discontinued upon induction of AF, a decrease in systolic blood pressure to\<85 mmHg, complaints of severe chest tightness, electrocardiographic changes suggestive of ischemia, or upon completion of the infusion protocol.
