Association of short-term heart rate variability and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy

S Sivathamboo, D Friedman, J Laze, R Nightscales… - Neurology, 2021 - AAN Enterprises
Background and Objectives We compared heart rate variability (HRV) in sudden unexpected
death in epilepsy (SUDEP) cases and living epilepsy controls. Methods This international …

Forecasting cycles of seizure likelihood

PJ Karoly, MJ Cook, M Maturana, ES Nurse… - …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Objective Seizure unpredictability is rated as one of the most challenging aspects of living
with epilepsy. Seizure likelihood can be influenced by a range of environmental and …

Seizure pathways change on circadian and slower timescales in individual patients with focal epilepsy

GM Schroeder, B Diehl… - Proceedings of the …, 2020 - National Acad Sciences
Personalized medicine requires that treatments adapt to not only the patient but also
changing factors within each individual. Although epilepsy is a dynamic disorder …

A systematic review and meta‐analysis of heart rate variability in epilepsy and antiepileptic drugs

PA Lotufo, L Valiengo, IM Bensenor, AR Brunoni - Epilepsia, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Purpose: Epilepsy is associated with near‐fatal and fatal arrhythmias, and sudden
unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is partly related to cardiac events. Dysfunction of the …

Biomarkers of seizure severity derived from wearable devices

S Beniczky, AA Arbune, J Jeppesen, P Ryvlin - Epilepsia, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Besides triggering alarms, wearable seizure detection devices record a variety of biosignals
that represent biomarkers of seizure severity. There is a need for automated seizure …

The circadian profile of epilepsy improves seizure forecasting

PJ Karoly, H Ung, DB Grayden, L Kuhlmann, K Leyde… - Brain, 2017 - academic.oup.com
It is now established that epilepsy is characterized by periodic dynamics that increase
seizure likelihood at certain times of day, and which are highly patient-specific. However …
