- Abstract
Response to Neuvonen et al: Sotalol, unlike the other beta-blockers, increases the QTc interval and risk of torsades de pointes ventricular tachycardia in severe poisonings Sotalol, unlike other beta-blockers, indeed has unique characteristics with regard to class III antiarrhythmic effects. Secondly, sotalol toxicity is increased by additional ingestion of QT-prolonging drugs and renal failure.
