Notes:
Summary Sotalol, at a fixed dose of 20 mg was given intravenously to 34 patients with cardiac arrhythmias of varying aetiology. It was effective in the treatment of supraventricular tachycardias, acute onset atrial and ventricular ectopics and acute onset atrial fibrillation. In chronic arrhythmias sinus rhythm was not restored, but in 77% there was slowing of the cardiac rate. Side effects were seen in only one patient who developed moderate bronchospasm.
