Lamotrigine is a mood stabilizer medication that works in the brain
Lamictal did not slow ventricular conduction (widen QRS) in healthy individuals in a thorough QT study; however, it could slow ventricular conduction and increase the risk of arrhythmia in patients with structural heart disease or myocardial ischemia

1 The agency referenced in vitro results that predicted Class IB antiarrhythmic activity at therapeutic concentrations of lamotrigine due to its sodium channel blocking (SCB) On Oct 9, 2020, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning on the lamotrigine datasheet including this statement: "avoid LAMICTAL (ie, lamotrigine) in patients with certain underlying cardiac disorders or arrhythmias"
Black In March 2021, FDA reported a risk of arrhythmias with lamotrigine, [1] an antiseizure medication acting as sodium and calcium channel modulator [2]

The binding kinetics observed for lamotrigine are comparable to those obtained for class Ib anti‐arrhythmics in published reports, further supporting this classification

Although lamotrigine appeared to cause small mean increases in heart rate, this did not affect the analysis of QTcF, because Fridericia's formula corrected the QT interval adequately for heart rate

Because lamotrigine can change the heart's rhythm, lamotrigine is used cautiously in people with heart failure, heart disease, heart rhythm problems, ischemic heart disease, heart conduction problems such as Brugada syndrome, ischemic heart disease, or who have risk factors such as coronary artery disease
Side effects are usually mild, but possible serious side effects include rapid heart rate The mean maternal lamotrigine dosage was 304 mg/day (range 25 to 1150 mg/day), the mean follow up time after birth was 11

This effect could result in a widening of the QRS complex, induce new cardiac arrhythmias, and lead to sudden death
Among the reports, ventricular arrhythmias and cardiac arrest were mostly reported (44%) followed by rhythm and heart rate disorders (40%), supraventricular
