Cardiovascular Effects of Antiseizure Medications for Epilepsy

CNS Drugs
Antiseizure medications (ASMs) are the primary treatment for epilepsy. However, adverse cardiac effects of ASMs can occur, related to their effects on lipid metabolism, raising ischemic heart disease risk; or specific actions on cardiac ion channels, increasing cardiac arrhythmia risk.
