sotalol and Cardiac Arrest, Sudden

sotalol has been researched along with Cardiac Arrest, Sudden in 30 studies

Sotalol: An adrenergic beta-antagonist that is used in the treatment of life-threatening arrhythmias.
sotalol : A sulfonamide that is N-phenylmethanesulfonamide in which the phenyl group is substituted at position 4 by a 1-hydroxy-2-(isopropylamino)ethyl group. It has both beta-adrenoreceptor blocking (Vaughan Williams Class II) and cardiac action potential duration prolongation (Vaughan Williams Class III) antiarrhythmic properties. It is used (usually as the hydrochloride salt) for the management of ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias.

"We compared the ability of a new amiodarone-like agent, SR 33589, with that of amiodarone, D,L-sotalol, and lignocaine to reduce the incidence of ventricular fibrillation (VF) and associated arrhythmias caused by acute coronary artery occlusion in anesthetized pigs."7.69Effects of a new amiodarone-like agent, SR 33589, in comparison to amiodarone, D,L-sotalol, and lignocaine, on ischemia-induced ventricular arrhythmias in anesthetized pigs.
