Study summary

This study aims to investigate the efficacy and safety of oral sotalol alone or combination with other anti-arrhythmic medicines in the treatment of arrhythmias in children. The study will regularly monitor the Holter, electrocardiogram (ECG), Echocardiography (Echo), blood routine, urine routine, serum ion, liver and kidney function, troponin I, hypersensitive troponin T, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT pro-BNP), etc, before and after receive sotalol therapy. Compare the degree of arrhythmia improvement in patients and the side effects after oral sotalol.

Read the detailed description

Monitoring the Holter, ECG, Echocardiography , blood routine, urine routine, serum ion, liver and kidney function, troponin I, hypersensitive troponin T, NT pro-BNP beforehand. Eligible patients should stop all anti-arrhythmia drugs and digitalis, tricyclic antidepressants, beta blockers or calcium antagonists for at least 5 half-lives, and then do Holter. Randomly grouped. Judging the results according to the situation before and after oral sotalol.
