Reversal of heart failure with sotalol in a case of incessant supraventricular tachycardia

B Passaretti et al. Int J Cardiol. .

Abstract

Supraventricular tachycardia inducing severe left ventricular enlargement and dysfunction was treated with sotalol in a 17-year-old man, in whom radiofrequency ablation had been unsuccessful. Restoration of sinus rhythm overwhelmed the negative inotropic effect of the drug and caused full reversion to normal of the left ventricular dimensions and function.
