What is Antiseizure Medications in Patients with Cardiovascular Disorders about?

Abstract Antiseizure medications (ASMs) may have adverse effects on the cardiovascular system. A number of serologic markers relevant to cardiovascular risk have been found to be affected by the CYP450-inducing ASMs. These include cholesterol and specific atherogenic lipid fractions, lipoprotein(a), C reactive protein, and homocysteine. These alterations suggest that enzyme-inducing ASMs might produce elevations in cardiovascular risk, a notion reinforced by the epidemiologic data. Therefore, monitoring vascular risk factors in patients receiving CYP450-inducing ASMs may be beneficial. In addition, patients with cardiovascular disorders are usually on antihypertensive, anticoagulant, or cardiac drugs, which may have significant interactions with ASMs.
