A case of sick sinus syndrome aggravated by carbamazepine prescribed for epilepsy is described. A 70 year old woman with previously stable psychomotor epilepsy experienced syncope of increased frequency after her anticonvulsant was changed to carbamazepine. ECG monitoring confirmed a severe sick sinus syndrome which improved on carbamazepine withdrawal. Failure to distinguish carbamazepine-induced cardiac syncope from epileptic attacks may lead to an increase in dosage and aggravation of syncope.
本文描述了一例因用于治疗癫痫的卡马西平而加重的病态窦房结综合征病例。一名70岁女性,既往精神运动性癫痫病情稳定,在抗惊厥药物换成卡马西平后,晕厥发作频率增加。心电图监测证实为严重的病态窦房结综合征,停用卡马西平后病情改善。未能区分卡马西平引起的心脏性晕厥和癫痫发作可能导致剂量增加和晕厥加重。
