Hi there, I too am from the old days and I do remember you as well. When you say you could not pass the stress test with adenosine, what do you mean exactly? I have taken a couple stress tests this way prior to knee replacement and as I recall it increased my heart rate upon administration and stopped as soon as they stopped the drip. Did your heart not respond or were you unable to tolerate the reaction?
