  • Title: Effectiveness of sotalol treatment in symptomatic Brugada syndrome.
    Author: Glatter KA, Wang Q, Keating M, Chen S, Chiamvimonvat N, Scheinman MM.
    Journal: Am J Cardiol; 2004 May 15; 93(10):1320-2. PubMed ID: 15135718.
    Abstract:
    We describe a 53-year-old man with recurrent syncopal events and a malignant family history who was treated for 13 years with sotalol drug therapy with no further occurrence of Brugada syndrome symptoms. Genetic testing revealed that he carried a Brugada syndrome sodium channel SCN5A mutation (4189delT). This finding suggests that sotalol may be of therapeutic benefit in such patients.
