A 40-year-old man is admitted to the hospital because of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). An intravenous bolus of adenosine is administered, and the PSVT resolves. The effectiveness of this treatment at the atrioventricular node is most likely due to an increase in which of the following? A) Calcium conductance B) CAMP synthesis C) cGMP synthesis D) Chloride conductance E) Nitric oxide synthesis F) Potassium conductance G) Prostaglandin synthesis H) Sodium conductance
