Tecadenoson is a novel selective A1 adenosine receptor agonist that is currently being evaluated for the conversion of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) to sinus rhythm. It is being developed by CV Therapeutics, Inc. (en)
Tecadenoson selectively stimulates the A1 adenosine receptor. Stimulation of the A1 adenosine receptor slows the conduction of electrical impulses in the AV node of the heart, a region that controls the transmission of electrical impulses from the atria to the ventricles. (en)
