[SCD-FORUM] 114E RE: Case: Male, 29yrs. Dr. Belhassen

[SCD Symposium]

Dear Dr Dubner and Dr Schapachnick

I would like to answer to Dr Zhu.
 
It is obvious that economic reasons will not enable this patient to get an ICD; therefore, and as suggested by my friend Dr 
Brembilla-Perrot, we need to find some effective medication. Instead of the combination amiodarone + betablocker, I personnally prefer Sotalol in this young patient. 
Several good papers (especially from Germany) have showed the efficacy of that medication in this type of patient.
