Total Atrioventricular Block with Syncopes Complicating Carbamazepin Therapy

Abstract

At case of carbamazepine-induced intermittent total atrioventricular block with asystole and Stokes-Adams attacks is reported. The diagnosis was proved by repeated administration of carbamazepine after insertion of a demand pacemaker. If syncopes occur or change nature in a patient treated with carbamazepine, evaluation of cardiac conduction is recommended.
