Recent trials of chronic EEG in humans showed that epilepsy is a cyclical disorder of the
brain with rhythms at multiple time-scales: circadian, multi-day (multidien) or even seasonal …

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a useful tool for the detection of sympathetic–parasympathetic
balance of autonomic nervous system in patients at risk of sudden death (SD). SD is more …

The occurrence of seizures at specific times of the day has been consistently observed for
centuries in individuals with epilepsy. Electrophysiological recordings provide evidence that …

BACKGROUND: Several studies have reported reduced heart rate variability (HRV) in
patients with chronic epilepsy under treatment with antiepileptic drugs. This impairment in …

Sleep duration, sleep deprivation and the sleep–wake cycle are thought to play an important
role in the generation of epileptic activity and may also influence seizure risk. Hence, people …

Advances in diagnostic technology, including chronic intracranial EEG recordings, have
confirmed the clinical observation of different temporal patterns of epileptic activity and …

Abstract Background and Aims Previous evidence has mainly supported transient changes
in cardiac function during interictal or peri-ictal phases in people with epilepsy, but the long …

Objective Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a tragic and devastating event
for which the underlying pathophysiology remains poorly understood; this study investigated …

Our objective was to critically evaluate the literature surrounding heart rate variability (HRV)
in people with epilepsy and to make recommendations as to how future research could be …
