A randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled multicenter trial of adenosine as an adjunct to reperfusion in the treatment of acute myocardial infarction (AMISTAD-II)

TL;DR: Clinical outcomes in patients with STEMI undergoing reperfusion therapy were not significantly improved with adenosine, although infarct size was reduced with the 70-microg/kg/min adenosines infusion, a finding that correlated with fewer adverse clinical events.

Adenosine, adenosine receptors and myocardial protection: an updated overview.

TL;DR: Adenosine (Ado) accumulates in tissues under metabolic stress and has been tested as a protective agent in clinical interventions such as PTCA, CABG and tissue preservation, and was found to enhance the post-ischemic recovery of function.
