abstract="The case of a 58 year old woman who died after ingestion of 14.4 g of sotalol and 50 mg of triazolam is described. Despite medical treatment, intracardiac pacing and hemodialysis, cardiovascular failure persisted and became irreversible. High sotalol concentrations were observed in plasma (65 micrograms/ml) and in post mortem tissues samples. Tissue to plasma ratios ranged from 2.5 to 6. The high drug concentration found in heart tissue (104.4 micrograms/g) explains the difficulties experienced in the sotalol poisoning.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
