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 |
