Association of Long-term Antiseizure Medication Use and Incident Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Wei-En Johnny Tseng et al.

Summary: Long-term use of enzyme-inhibiting antiseizure medications (ASMs) is associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This study provides guidance for individuals requiring long-term ASM therapy.

Antiseizure medications and thyroid hormone homeostasis: Literature review and practical guideline

Anne Maria Rochtus et al.

Summary: Thyroid hormones play a crucial role in the development of the central nervous system, brain function, and repair mechanisms. Studies have shown that alterations in thyroid hormone metabolism are common in epilepsy patients, especially those on certain antiseizure medications like valproate and carbamazepine. Patients on polytherapy, older age, female sex, longer duration of epilepsy, and intractable epilepsy are at higher risk for hypothyroidism. Further research on the interaction between newer antiseizure medications and thyroid hormone homeostasis is necessary to improve epilepsy patient care.

Stroke and Ischemic Heart Disease With Enzyme-inducing Antiseizure Medications: Time to Change Prescribing Habits

David G. Vossler

Summary: This study analyzed the relationship between the use of enzyme-inducing antiseizure medications (eiASMs) and cardiovascular disease in patients with epilepsy. The study found that patients receiving eiASMs had a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, and this association was dose-dependent. The results of this study are important for understanding the long-term effects of eiASMs on cardiovascular health in patients.

Association Between Antiseizure Drug Monotherapy and Mortality for Patients With Poststroke Epilepsy

David Larsson et al.

Summary: This study suggests differences in survival between patients treated with different ASMs for poststroke epilepsy. Patients receiving lamotrigine monotherapy had significantly lower mortality compared with those receiving carbamazepine. Valproic acid was associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular and all-cause death.

Association of Enzyme-Inducing Antiseizure Drug Use With Long-term Cardiovascular Disease

Colin B. Josephson et al.

Summary: This study revealed a dose-dependent hazard of incident cardiovascular disease associated with enzyme-inducing antiseizure medications (eiASMs). The hazard of incident cardiovascular disease is higher in those receiving eiASMs, and the risk seems to reach clinical significance by approximately 10 years from first exposure. The association between eiASMs and cardiovascular disease risk is dose-dependent and can be significant after long-term use.

Cardiovascular disease risk, awareness, and treatment in people with epilepsy

Samuel W. Terman et al.

Summary: This study compared cardiovascular risks, risk awareness, and treatment concordance in individuals with epilepsy versus without epilepsy. The results show that despite an increased cardiovascular disease risk in epilepsy patients, there were no significant differences in awareness, treatment, and control of individual risk factors such as diabetes and hypertension.

Effects of long-term anti-seizure medication monotherapy on all-cause death in patients with post-stroke epilepsy: a nationwide population-based study in Taiwan

Chia-Yu Hsu et al.

Summary: Among patients with post-stroke epilepsy on first-line monotherapy, the use of phenytoin was associated with a higher risk of death in 5 years compared to new anti-seizure medications. However, all anti-seizure medication groups showed a similar risk of new ischemic stroke within 5 years.
