CA 2656680

Methods are presented that comprise the administration of a pharmaceutical composition comprising adenosine and dipyridamole, as well methods comprising the combined administration of dipyridamole administered as a bolus with adenosine given as an infusion, both at dosages below their respective single agent dosages, for detecting the presence and/or assessing the severity of myocardial ischemia during pharmacologic stress tests. The methods are useful for exploiting the vasodilating abilities of adenosine at doses at which side effects related to adenosine are substantially reduced while optimal coronary artery perfusion is achieved. Also presented are compositions, unit dosage forms, and kits that are useful in performing the methods.

La présente invention concerne des procédés comprenant l'administration d'une composition pharmaceutique comprenant de l'adénosine et du dipyridamole, ainsi que des procédés comprenant l'administration combinée de dipyridamole administré en bolus, associé à de l'adénosine administrée sous forme de perfusion. Les deux substances sont administrées à des posologies inférieures à leurs posologies respectives en tant qu'agents de monothérapie, et visent à détecter la présence et/ou à évaluer la sévérité de l'ischémie myocardique dans le cadre d'épreuves de stress pharmacologique. Lesdits procédés sont utiles dans la mesure où ils exploitent les capacités vasodilatatrices de l'adénosine à des doses auxquelles les effets secondaires liés à l'adénosine sont considérablement réduits, tout en obtenant une perfusion coronaire optimale. L'invention décrit également des compositions, des formes pharmaceutiques unitaires et des kits utiles pour la mise en AEuvre des procédés.
