We present our institutional protocol and retrospective review of initial patients treated with IV sotalol for AF/AFL at the University of Utah Hospital between September 2020 and April 2021. Eleven patients received IV sotalol for initial loading or dose escalation. All patients were male, aged 56...
Potentially shorten hospital stays and individualize treatment Resource Management Potentially increase bed availability, simplify patient management, and shorten loading regimen Consider a fast, efficient way to initiate or uptitrate sotalol in patients who require rate and rhythm control with a history of...

The impact of this variability on patient in‐hospital and 30‐day posthospitalization costs and outcomes is not known. Also, the cost impact of intravenous sotalol, which can accelerate drug loading to therapeutic levels, is unknown. Methods One hundred and thirty‐three AF patients admitted for...
To design an accelerated intravenous sotalol loading and maintenance therapy that will reduce the hospital length of stay and to also evaluate the pharmacoeconomic impact in a hospital setting. Pharmacokinetic (PK) simulations of plasma sotalol concentrations versus times profiles were performed to ...
After loading with oral sotalol (320 mg/day) programmed ventricular stimulation (PVS 2) was repeated 4.2 卤 3.3 weeks after PVS 1. Ventricular fibrillation was not inducible in any of the patients; in 10 patients (22%) sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia was induced, and nonsustained ...
