Article Synopsis
- Inpatient monitoring is traditionally recommended when starting sotalol, but this study aimed to evaluate the safety of initiating it in an outpatient setting.
- The study reviewed 880 patients who started sotalol, mostly for atrial fibrillation, and monitored their QTc intervals over time to assess for significant prolongation and other clinical events.
- Findings indicated that outpatient initiation of sotalol is generally safe, with minimal serious adverse effects and a low rate of QTc prolongation, although ongoing monitoring and follow-up are essential.
