Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
39 words
A method of treating supraventricular tachycardia caused by re-entry in the AV node, comprising the steps of: (a) administering intravenously to a human afflicted with the tachycardia, 0.01-0.25 mg/kg of body weight of adenosine sufficient to restore normal rhythm.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
39 words
A method of treating supraventricular tachycardia caused by re-entry in the AV node, comprising the steps of: (a) administering intravenously to a human afflicted with the tachycardia, 0.01-0.25 mg/kg of body weight of adenosine sufficient to restore normal rhythm.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
11 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said tachycardia is Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said tachycardia is reciprocating junctional tachycardia.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
11 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said amount is 1-8 mg.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 1, wherein said amount is about 0.06 mg/kg.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
56 words
A method of diagnosing supraventricular tachycardia caused by re-entry in the AV node, comprising the steps of: (a) administering intravenously to a human afflicated with the tachycardia 0.01-0.25 mg/kg of body weight of adenosine; (b) monitoring the heart beat of said human for restoration of normal sinus rhythm; and (c) determining the existence of the tachycardia.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
56 words
A method of diagnosing supraventricular tachycardia caused by re-entry in the AV node, comprising the steps of: (a) administering intravenously to a human afflicated with the tachycardia 0.01-0.25 mg/kg of body weight of adenosine; (b) monitoring the heart beat of said human for restoration of normal sinus rhythm; and (c) determining the existence of the tachycardia.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
11 words
The method of claim 6, wherein said tachycardia is Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 6, wherein said tachycardia is reciprocating junctional tachycardia.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
11 words
The method of claim 6, wherein said amount is 1-8 mg.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 6, wherein said amount is about 0.06 mg/kg.
