The CS flow, ascending aortic flow, and native T1 of the myocardium and spleen were measured at rest and during adenosine infusion at increasing doses until the target heart rate (HR) (>10 bpm) was attained. At an adenosine dose of 120 µg/kg/min, lower MBF was observed with caffeine than with placebo (2.30 ± 0.95 vs. 2.97 ± 0.97 mL/min/g, P < 0.001). Seven participants on caffeine and three on placebo required an increased dose of adenosine to achieve the target HR (P = 0.012). Despite achieving the target HR, MBF was significantly lower with caffeine than with placebo (2.60 ± 1.02 vs. 3.11 ± 0.79 mL/min/g, P = 0.012). Notably, only myocardial T1 correlated significantly with MBF in the caffeine (r = 0.74, P < 0.001) and placebo (r = 0.52, P = 0.018) phases.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Although the antagonistic effects of caffeine may slightly be overcome by increasing the adenosine dose, an HR increase > 10 bpm may be an unreliable criterion for increasing doses of adenosine.
