Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Pharmacology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Carbamazepine is a widely prescribed medication for epilepsy and trigeminal neuralgia.
  • Potential adverse effects on the cardiac conduction system are a known concern with carbamazepine therapy.

Observation:

  • A 43-year-old male patient developed symptomatic bradyarrhythmia.
  • The cardiac event occurred while the patient was undergoing treatment with carbamazepine.

Findings:

  • Carbamazepine therapy was associated with the development of symptomatic bradyarrhythmia.
  • A review of existing literature identified previous cases of carbamazepine-induced disturbances in sinus node, AV node, and His-Purkinje conduction.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should be vigilant for cardiac conduction abnormalities in patients treated with carbamazepine.
  • This case underscores the importance of cardiac monitoring during carbamazepine therapy, especially in patients with pre-existing cardiac conditions.
