I believe that they are taking it much more slowly this time, I am currently in my 12th week post SVT ablation. I will be monitored via Zio Patch for 2 weeks while still on Sotalol, then depending on results possibly go to a slow wean of the Sotalol and remonitor. Then again depending on results of that go to discontinuation of the Sotalol. I actually prefer to do it this way because if I were to come off the Sotalol right away and then subsequently need to go back on it I would need to be readmitted for 48 hour monitoring per protocol for that drug. I do not want to have to do that again!
So this is what I assume their plan is but getting the info out of them is like pulling teeth. And this big Boston teaching hospital in department I worked in 😂 for many years.

Thanks for fleshing out your circumstances a bit. I guess it makes sense in your case to go slow. I know that both Tikosyn and Sotalol have to be initiated under direct supervision, so it means a hospital stay for a couple of days. And, if you're on either, or even on amiodarone, for a length of time, it does have to be stopped on a scheduled taper. You're doing well apparently, so there's no rush to the Holter. The EP knows what she/he is doing. Best of luck to you.
