IC nitro causes both significant T wave inversions and ST segment depression. Â The same affect occurs with IC adenosine as well. Â We use both to dilate...

Yes, this I am aware of, and have it seen many times with contrast injection of the coronaries. This is usually a comparatively large volume that displaces the...
