OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of sotalol on heart rate (HR), QT interval, atrial fibrillatory rate, and success of cardioversion in horses with naturally occurring chronic atrial fibrillation (AF). ANIMALS: Twenty-eight horses referred for transvenous electrical cardioversion of AF were treated...
Heart rhythm changes (see below) Heart rate changes (see below) There may be other side effects of sotalol that are not listed here. Contact your healthcare provider if you think you are having a side effect of a medicine. In the U.S., you can report side effects to the FDA atwww....
Long-term administration of beta-blockers should not be routinely discontinued before major surgery; however, the impaired ability of the heart to respond to reflex adrenergic stimuli may augment the risks ofgeneral anesthesiaand surgical procedures Formulations indicated for ventricular and atrial arrhythm...

6 D-sotalol does not have beta blocking activity but also reduces a patient's heart rate while standing or exercising.6 These actions combine to produce a negative inotropic effect that reduces the strength of contractility of muscle cells in the heart.2 Extension of the QT interval is also ...
variable results, specifically for the drugs which are having the first-pass effect, and therefore such drugs should perform enantioselective pharmacokinetic monitoring. The selection of a racemate or a single enantiomer type in therapy is based on the important drug disposition data of the chiral ...
Because the EP changes with beta-blockade in the immature heart are modest, the large changes in myocardial refractoriness induced by So must be largely due to a significant class III antiarrhythmic effect.Hu uNaturePediatric ResearchXu H (徐惠),et al.The electrophysiologic effects of sotalol ...
Sotalol may have a greater effect on QT prolongation in the immature heart than in the adult heart, and therefore, conveys an increased risk of serious fetal arrhythmia and/or possible intrauterine death. Monitor the newborn for symptoms of beta blockade. Labor or Delivery Generally, risk of...
Sulfonylureas: increased hypoglycemic effect Drug-diagnostic tests. Antinuclear antibody: increased titers Blood urea nitrogen, glucose, lipoproteins, potassium, triglycerides, uric acid: increased levels Drug-food. Any food: decreased drug absorption Patient monitoring • Monitor ECG, electrolyte levels, ...
On a theoretic basis, action potential–prolonging drugs that increase refractoriness should be more effective in either preventing or terminating fast tachyarrhythmias than slow tachyarrhythmias. Evidence for this hypothesis is given by experimental studies 24, 25in which the effect of the class III ...
