Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

No need to completely stop Sotalol before cardiac abalation. You can continue Sotalol without concerns. You can follow your Cardiologist’s advice and as he said it is not essential.

Wishing you good health.

Thanks.
