Adenosine Injection 60 mg per 20 mL is used primarily for the rapid treatment of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), a condition characterized by an abnormally fast heartbeat. It works by slowing the electrical conduction through the atrioventricular node, restoring normal rhythm. Administered intravenously in a clinical setting, it provides quick, effective intervention for SVT episodes. Adenosine is essential for stabilizing heart rate and ensuring proper cardiac function, making it crucial in emergency cardiovascular care.
