Betapace®, Sotacor®Cardiology A class II beta blocker that ↑ myocardial action potential duration, ↑ cardiac refractory period, lengthens QT interval; sotalol is used for conduction block, A Fib, torsade de pointes, angina, HTN, suppress PVCs, ventricular tachyarrhythmias Adverse effects Pro...
Beta Blockers, Sotalol, or Amiodarone for the Treatment of Malignant Ventricular Arrhythmias?In patients with malignant ventricular tachyarrhythmias the impact of drug therapy on total mortality has been difficult to evaluate with certainty because placebo-controlled studies could not be performed for ...
Though some of the effects seen in these patients are consistent with the beta adrenergic antagonist properties of sotalol, the effect on atrial, ventricular, and accessory pathway effective refractory periods and on ventricular repolarisation is not typical of that observed with other beta blockers ...
With respect to beta-blockers, five compounds of this type (atenolol,sotalol,celiprolol,propranolol, and metoprolol) were found to be below the limit of quantification (0.025μg/L) after ARR using agricultural fields in Braunschweig, Germany, with water coming from secondary effluent[46]. ...

See "What Are Side Effects Associated with Using Sotalol?" Cautions May worsen arrhythmias May cause or worsen congestive heart failure 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...
2 Extension of the QT interval is also adversely associated with the induction of arrhythmia in patients.4 Hyperglycemia is a greater risk for non insulin dependant diabetics than insulin dependant diabetics.7 Beta blockers inhibit insulin secretion which may cause hyperglycemia in type II diabetes ...
