Betapace Information

Betapace (Sotalol) is primarily used to treat and prevent certain types of fast or irregular heartbeats, which are called arrhythmias. It is used to treat life-threatening ventricular tachycardia, a rhythm problem originating in the lower chambers of the heart. It is also used to help maintain a regular heart rhythm in patients with highly symptomatic atrial fibrillation or flutter who are currently in normal sinus rhythm. These abnormal heart conditions involve disordered electrical activity that makes the heart beat too fast or irregularly, preventing it from pumping blood effectively. The result can be a dangerous drop in blood pressure and a failure to circulate enough oxygen to the brain and body. This often means the heart is unable to sustain life effectively.

Sotalol is a potent antiarrhythmic drug that works in two different ways. Firstly, it acts as a class III antiarrhythmic by blocking potassium channels in the heart muscle, slowing the electrical recovery phase of the heart. This stabilization helps prevent irregular beats from recurring. Secondly, it acts as a non-selective beta-adrenergic receptor blocker. This effect slows the overall heart rate and reduces the conduction of electrical signals, thereby contributing to a more stable, normal heart rhythm. Once the rhythm has been corrected, Sotalol helps prevent or delay the irregular rhythm from returning.

It is worth noting that the Class III antiarrhythmic effect of sotalol can significantly increase the risk of a severe, life-threatening arrhythmia called Torsade de Pointes (a type of ventricular tachycardia). Hence why this medication is not used in mild atrial fibrillation that conservative methods can manage; it is only used in severe cases where the patient is symptomatic.
