Sotalol effects both rate and rhythm; it's one option for PVCs - and maybe data from Mayo would be useful for you - link below - good luck!

so about a month ago, my PVC's were in the 500+/hour range.
few weeks ago I did a Zio holter for 7 days - I had started eating bananas. It reported my PVC's at the 300+/- an hour range. Started some Taurine and L-Arginine and am now down to 125/hour - the Sotalol is in the rear view mirror - for now.

in my case, minerals (potassium and magnesium) seem to be involved.
what started me was I discovered I was on a potassium wasting diuretic Chlorthalidone) - which has now also been stopped.
