sotalol and Obesity

sotalol has been researched along with Obesity in 5 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.

Obesity: A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The pharmacokinetic data for the three drugs were qualitatively similar."2.68Pharmacokinetics of beta-adrenoceptor blockers in obese and normal volunteers. ( Carrupt, PA; Cheymol, G; Levron, JC; Poirier, JM; Snoeck, E; Testa, B; Weissenburger, J, 1997)
" Pharmacokinetic parameters were compared with those obtained previously in non-obese control subjects."2.67Comparison of propranolol and sotalol pharmacokinetics in obese subjects. ( Barré, J; Cheymol, G; Cohen, A; Hugues, FC; Le Jeunne, C; Poirier, JM, 1990)
" In obese subjects the pharmacokinetic data calculated for sotalol (total clearance (CL), volume of distribution (V beta), half-life of elimination (t1/2), were comparable with those measured in the controls."1.28[Comparison of beta-blocking agents pharmacokinetics in obese and non-obese subjects].
