sotalol and Cardiac Failure

sotalol has been researched along with Cardiac Failure in 32 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.

"Chronic treatment of heart failure patients with beta-adrenoceptor antagonists leads to an up-regulation of cardiac beta-adrenoceptors, but in a subtype-selective fashion: beta 1-selective antagonists increase only cardiac beta 1-adrenoceptors, whereas non-selective antagonists increase both beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptors."1.28Drug- and disease-induced changes of human cardiac beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptors.
