sotalol and Tremor

sotalol has been researched along with Tremor in 9 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.

Tremor: Cyclical movement of a body part that can represent either a physiologic process or a manifestation of disease. Intention or action tremor, a common manifestation of CEREBELLAR DISEASES, is aggravated by movement. In contrast, resting tremor is maximal when there is no attempt at voluntary movement, and occurs as a relatively frequent manifestation of PARKINSON DISEASE.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Log dose-response curves for increases in both heart rate (mostly beta 1), and amplitude of physiologic tremor (beta 2) were constructed for each subject in the control state and 2 hr after 10 or 40 mg propranolol, 200 mg sotalol, or placebo."9.05Propranolol and sotalol as antagonists of isoproterenol-enhanced physiologic tremor. ( Fish, A; Perucca, E; Pickles, H; Richens, A, 1981)

( Jefferson, D; Leigh, PN; Marsden, CD; Twomey, A, 1983)
"The effects of intravenous doses of propranolol, sotalol, timolol, atenolol and placebo on exercise-induced tachycardia and exercise-induced increases in hand tremor were assessed in four healthy volunteers."5.06Exercise-induced hand tremor: a possible test for beta 2-adrenoceptor selectivity in man?

"The effect of beta-adrenoceptor antagonists, varying in lipophilicity and receptor selectivity, were studied on tremor elicited by L-5-hydroxytryptophan (L-5-HTP) in rats pretreated with a peripherally acting decarboxylase inhibitor and a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, or by the directly acting 5-HT agonist 5-methoxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine (5-MeODMT)."3.67Blockade of central beta-adrenoceptors attenuates tremor induced by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT)-receptor activation in rats.
