“Compared with placebo theophylline caused a small increase in minute ventilation (P less than 0.05) and flattened the dose-response curves of the effects of adenosine on ventilation (P less than 0.01) and Pa, CO2 (P less than 0.01).”
“ Theophylline did not by itself affect heart rate but significantly (P less than 0.05) reduced the heart rate response to adenosine.”
