In this report, we aim to review the current literature regarding the associations between epilepsy and Brugada syndrome and the impact of lamotrigine therapy on such patients
Lamotrigin kann EKG-Anomalien, welche zu Arrhythmien (unregelmäßiger Herzrhythmus) führen können, auslösen

Lamotrigine-induced Brugada syndrome: A rare adverse event Keywords Epilepsy Adverse events Antiepileptic drugs Lamotrigine 1
Although not currently contraindicated in Brugada syndrome, the antidepressant lamotrigine blocks sodium channels, which are usually inactivated in heart cell membranes in Brugada syndrome, and may be responsible for the expression of type 1 Brugada pattern

The man, who had 4 year history of idiopathic epilepsy, presented with recurrent syncopal episodes and an abnormal electrocardiogram
Brugada syndrome (BrS) presents with a characteristic electrocardiogram (ECG) and is associated with sudden cardiac death
Objective Lamotrigine, at toxic levels, may lose specificity and exert an effect on cardiac sodium channels, a phenomenon that has not been previously described

Brugada syndrome is an inherited cardiac channelopathy arising from mutations in voltage-gated cardiac sodium channels
It inhibits human cardiac sodium channels with rapid onset and offset kinetics and strong voltage dependence, consistent with other Class IB antiarrhythmic agents
Lacosamide has occasionally been implicated in atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter, again predominantly in older people
After discontinuation of lamotrigine reversal of the typical Brugada ECG pattern was observed

The 15-lead ECG with ajmaline testing while the patient was on lamotrigine at 3 minutes, 10 seconds
A case of a 27-year-old male patient with a background of presumed idiopathic epilepsy who was initiated on lamotrigine therapy resulting in the unmasking of Brugada syndrome and the onset of syncopal episodes is reported, providing further evidence for the arrhythmogenic capacity of lamOTrigine
In October 2020, the Food and Drug Administration added a warning to the lamotrigine label that said the drug "could slow ventricular conduction (widen QRS) and induce proarrhythmia, including sudden death, in patients with structural heart disease or myocardial ischemia
Intriguing in these reports is the potential effect of lamotrigine on provocative testing
Based on the presentation, a lamotrigine-induced Brugada syndrome was taken into consideration

Two months before presentation, the patient was started on escalating doses of lithium
SCB is performed frequently as part of family screening or in symptomatic patients with a suggestive electrocardiogram (ECG), and concurrent medications known to potentiate arrhythmias or contraindicated in BrS Lamotrigine has been used for patients with epilepsy and/or bipolar disorder, overdose of which induced the hypotension, elevation of the atrial pacing threshold, cardiac conduction delay, wide complex tachycardia, cardiac arrest and Brugada-like electrocardiographic pattern

Conclusions: Evidence is insufficient to support the breadth of the FDA warning concerning lamotrigine's cardiac risk
Pregabalin has been reported to A 22-year-old woman developed a Brugada-like ECG pattern with altered consciousness and dizziness during treatment with lamotrigine for epilepsy
The woman, who had multiple morbidities including fibromuscular dysplasia, bilateral carotid artery dissections, stroke, seizure controlled on lamotrigine, presented with syncope while exercising on a treadmill
The patient had bipolar disorder and was on lithium, lamotrigine, and ziprasidone

Lamotrigine, at toxic levels, may lose specificity and exert an effect on cardiac sodium channels, a phenomenon that has not been previously described
We examined treatment with such drugs in patients with BrS after their diagnosis
There have been six reports in the literature of lamotrigine contributing to the unmasking of Brugada syndrome, which further supports the theory that lamotrigine

Unmasking of Brugada syndrome by lamotrigine in a patient with pre-existing epilepsy: A case report with review of the literature
The use of lamotrigine should be carefully considered in patients with Brugada syndrome
Intriguing in these reports is the potential effect of lamotrigine on provocative testing

Lamotrigine may exacerbate seizures in patients with myoclonic seizures (including juvenile myoclonic epilepsy), Dravet syndrome, and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome
The possibility was therefore considered that lamotrigine could have triggered the Brugada pattern, and the drug A 62-year-old man with a medical history of AF was admitted to our emergency department for altered mental status
The Brugada syndrome (BS) is a familial disease that displays an autosomal dominant mode of transmission, and lamotrigine
