title: Adenosine-induced atrial fibrillation during fractional flow reserve measurement.
abstract: We present the case of a 44 year-old man referred for coronary angiography with a history of  coronary artery disease. Following administration of intra-coronary adenosine for fractional  flow reserve (FFR) assessment, the patient developed atrial fibrillation (AF). While well described  during non-invasive stress testing, this is the first description in the literature of AF  following adenosine administration for FFR. The growing usage of FFR during diagnostic  coronary angiography makes this an important side effect to consider. Our subsequent management  and follow-up is presented.
