Table 2. Potential Clinical Applications of Intravenous Sotalol.

Clinical Applications of Intravenous Sotalol
Treatment of AF in post cardiac surgery patients (conversion rates similar to intravenous amiodarone with shorter loading time for Class III effects and shorter elimination half life upon withdrawal)
Prevention of early recurrence of atrial fibrillation post cardioversion and maintenance of SR
Potential use for reducing hospital time for sotalol initiation but further studies are needed
Life threatening ventricular tachycardia as an alternative agent to intravenous amiodarone or procainamide
Post congenital heart surgery in pediatric population
Pediatric supraventricular and ventricular tachycardia
