Therefore, the purpose of this clinical trial was to determine the effect of a single standard dose of sotalol on heart function and rhythm in dogs diagnosed with ventricular arrhythmias. (vetmed.ucdavis.edu)
Therefore, some dogs with ventricular arrhythmias must be treated with antiarrhythmics (e.g. sotalol). (www2.vet.cornell.edu)
Anti-arrhythmic drugs such as lidocaine, procainamide, and sotalol may need to be used initially to convert the arrhythmia in an acute episode, and may need to be continued indefinitely. (ivghospitals.com)
