2023年10月18日 · Sotalol AF is specifically used for maintenance of normal sinus rhythm [delay in time to recurrence of atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter (AFIB/AFL)] in patients with symptomatic AFIB/AFL who are currently in sinus rhythm.

Here I will discuss the way Sotalol treats atrial fibrillation, as well as discuss common and more serious side effects. What Is Sotalol? Sotalol is an antiarrhythmic medication that can be acquired by prescription. It functions as a beta-blocker but also …

2024年2月26日 · Intravenous loading of sotalol is recommended to facilitate the initiation of oral sotalol therapy. Sotalol is also used as an off-label medication for pharmacological cardioversion of atrial fibrillation, premature ventricular contractions, postoperative atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery, and supraventricular tachycardia (SVT).

2005年5月5日 · Amiodarone and sotalol are equally efficacious in converting atrial fibrillation to sinus rhythm. Amiodarone is superior for maintaining sinus rhythm, but both drugs have similar efficacy in...

2001年10月23日 · Antiarrhythmic drug therapy to maintain sinus rhythm in patients with recurrent paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation. Drugs are listed alphabetically and not in order of suggested use. *For adrenergic atrial fibrillation, beta-blockers or …

Sotalol is an AAD with class II (b-adreno-ceptor blocking) and class III (cardiac action potential duration prolongation) properties. This peculiar feature makes this drug an attrac-tive option for the treatment and prevention of AF. Comparative trials have demonstrated that sotalol has a similar efficacy in preventing recur-

2012年1月17日 · Sotalol is also approved for AF with a recommendation for inpatient initiation. The Sotalol Amiodarone Atrial Fibrillation Efficacy Trial (SAFE-T) initiated either sotalol or amiodarone in the outpatient setting during AF without adverse effect and with an equivalent rate of restoring sinus rhythm.

We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of outpatient initiation of sotalol for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) in a select group of patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) capable of continuous rhythm monitoring remotely.

2007年12月3日 · Sotalol is used to a treat life-threatening heart rhythm problem called ventricular arrhythmia. It is also used to treat heart rhythm problems called atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. Sotalol is a beta-blocker. It works by affecting the response to nerve impulses in certain parts of the body, like the heart.

2022年9月5日 · Sotalol is an antiarrhythmic drug for maintaining normal sinus rhythm in those with symptomatic afib or atrial flutter who are in normal sinus rhythm already. The goal is to prolong the time spent in normal sinus rhythm, although the afib can recur. Hospitalization for three days is required to start sotalol. Sotalol is taken by mouth.
