Dofetilide Therapy Notes.....

[Guest guest]

Hi all....

That is a great database you guys have! Was interested in dofetilide

(Tikosyn) and if my math is correct (and that is always

doubtful)...here's what the percentages look like:

28 people responding

7% quit because of QTc

14% quit for other reasons

78% helped (so far includg me) 78%

Those are pretty good numbers and there are less side effects than

Amiodarone. (My EP only uses Tikosyn now for those that can take it--

she is from Valley Hospital (Ridgewood, NJ) and St. Luke's Roosevelt

(NYC).

The downside -- you must be hospitalized for 3 days to check QT and

creatinine -- but hey, there's always TV to watch and you don't have

to cook!!!
