Hi there
I understand your concern as being a cardiology practioner I very well know how bothersome the episodes of SVT are. SOTALOL is basically an antiarrythmic with Class III properties and it's only a preventive treatment not a curative one.
The definitive curative treatment for frequent episodes of SVT is to go for EP study( Electrophysiological study) and finally Radio frequency Ablation (RFA). Consult a cardiologist personally for this treatment option.
I wish you good luck
