sotalol has been researched along with Mitral Valve Stenosis in 1 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.
Mitral Valve Stenosis: Narrowing of the passage through the MITRAL VALVE due to FIBROSIS, and CALCINOSIS in the leaflets and chordal areas. This elevates the left atrial pressure which, in turn, raises pulmonary venous and capillary pressure leading to bouts of DYSPNEA and TACHYCARDIA during physical exertion. RHEUMATIC FEVER is its primary cause.

| "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." | 1.28 | Drug- and disease-induced changes of human cardiac beta 1- and beta 2-adrenoceptors.
