Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method which includes i) prompting input of: a creatinine clearance (CrCl) of a subject; an amount of an oral or IV maintenance dosage of dofetilide for the subject; and optionally a projected start time for dofetilide infusion; and ii) executing computer executable instructions to derive from a set of rules a dofetilide dosing protocol for the subject based on the inputs. The disclosure also relates to systems and medical devices configured to perform one or more steps of the method, as well as a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions or software stored thereon capable of performing one or more steps of the method.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method which includes i) prompting input of: a creatinine clearance (CrCl) of a subject; whether the subject is being initiated or escalated on sotalol hydrochloride; an amount of an oral target dosage of sotalol hydrochloride for the subject; and optionally a projected start time for sotalol hydrochloride infusion; and ii) executing computer executable instructions to derive from a set of rules a sotalol hydrochloride dosing protocol for the subject based on the inputs. The disclosure also relates to systems and medical devices configured to perform one or more steps of the method, as well as a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions or software stored thereon capable of performing one or more steps of the method.

Abstract: Methods of administering an anti-arrhythmic, such as dofetilide, to a patient in an amount effective for treating a cardiovascular condition are described. The drug can be administered intravenously for at least one hour. A loading dose of 0.1 to 12 ?g/kg bodyweight over a duration of up to 60 minutes can be administered and/or a maintenance dose of 0.1 to 10 ?g/kg/hr can be administered intravenously over a duration of at least 1 hour, optionally alternatively or in addition wherein the amount of the loading dose and/or the IV maintenance dose is in the range of about ±50% of a maintenance dofetilide dose. The cardiovascular condition can include atrial fibrillation or flutter, ventricular tachycardia, hemodynamically stable or unstable ventricular tachycardia, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, heart failure, coronary artery disease, or pulmonary artery hypertension.
