Effects of epilepsy and antiepileptic drugs on fetal cardiac functions: A cross‐sectional study from a tertiary center

To our knowledge, this was the first study to examine the potential cardiac functional impact of epilepsy and antiepileptic drugs. This study demonstrated a small but significant association between maternal antiepileptic drug use and impaired fetal cardiac diastolic function, as assessed by ultrasound.
