Abstract
Sotalol is more effective in the prevention of supraventricular tachyarrhythmia than placebo or beta-blockers. Initiating sotalol before cardiac surgery has no advantage compared with initiating sotalol shortly after surgery. Starting sotalol intravenously after surgery may be a more reliable method than administering via a nasogastric tube or delaying treatment until the patient can take oral medication.
