How frequently do you monitor EKGs for patients newly initiated on lacosimide?
Answer from: at Academic Institution
In patients who are over the age of 50, smokers, or others with a higher risk of heart disease, I get an EKG at baseline and then at a maintenance dose. During treatment, if the patient reports any new potential cardiac symptoms like palpitations, PVCs, SOB, etc, I will get another EKG.
