Özet
We present a case of suicide attempt with levetiracetam (LEV) in an epilepsy patient. Multifocal ventricular contractions were observed together with bradycardia in this patient due to LEV overdose. Reported patient of LEV overdose in the literature rarely show electrocardiography findings. Although LEV is less toxic than other antiseizure medications, clinicians should be aware of its potential cardiac side effects.
