    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Toxicology
    • Cardiology

    Background:

    • Sotalol is a widely used beta-adrenergic blocking agent.
    • Poisonings from beta-adrenergic blocking agents are infrequent.
    • This study focuses on the rare event of sotalol overdosage.

    Observation:

    • The authors report the first documented case of fatal sotalol overdosage.
    • Toxicological analysis was performed using a newly developed method.
    • Findings were compared with other fatal beta-adrenergic blocking agent intoxications.

    Findings:

    • Detailed toxicological results from a fatal sotalol overdosage case are presented.
    • The analysis utilized a specially developed method for accuracy.
    • Comparative data with other beta-blocker fatalities are discussed.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the potential for fatal outcomes even with infrequent poisonings.
    • Emphasizes the need for specific toxicological methods for sotalol.
    • Contributes to understanding the toxicology of beta-adrenergic blocking agents.
