  • Title: Reproducible induction of "atypical" torsades de pointes by programmed electrical stimulation: a novel form of sotalol-induced proarrhythmia?
    Author: Krishnan SC, Galvin J, McGovern B, Garan H, Ruskin JN.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol; 1997 Sep; 8(9):1055-61. PubMed ID: 9300303.
    Abstract:
    We present a patient with sotalol-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia that was seen only with programmed ventricular stimulation. Electrophysiologic studies performed prior to initiation of sotalol therapy revealed inducible monomorphic ventricular tachycardia. Possible underlying electrophysiologic mechanisms are discussed.
