Abstract

The paper gives the results of a trial of the antiarrhythmic and antihypertensive efficacy of sotalol used for 12 weeks in 34 patients with arterial hypertension (AH) concurrent with atrial fibrillation (AF). If the treatment was ineffective, a combination of indapamide and perindopril was added. According to the findings, sotalol may be successfully used as a drug for antiarrhythmic therapy and effective blood pressure lowering in patients with grade I-II AH and paroxysmal AF.
