Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the most common cause of death directly
related to epilepsy, and most frequently occurs in people with chronic epilepsy. The main …

Purpose: To determine the prevalence of heart rate changes and ECG abnormalities during
epileptic seizures and to determine the timing of heart rate changes compared to the first …

Studies with heart rate variability have revealed interictal autonomic alterations in patients
with epilepsy. In addition, epilepsy is frequently associated with ictal tachycardia or …

Purpose: We studied heart‐rate (HR) changes at the transition from the preictal to the ictal
state in patients with focal epilepsies to gain some insight into the mechanisms involved in …

Epileptic seizures can lead to changes in autonomic function affecting the sympathetic,
parasympathetic, and enteric nervous systems. Changes in cardiac signals are potential …

Purpose: This study assessed the frequency and character of ictal cardiac rhythm and
conduction abnormalities in intractable epilepsy. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy …

Epilepsy and seizures can have a dramatic effect on the autonomic nervous system by
involvement of the central autonomic control centers. The peri-ictal changes can lead to …

Purpose: Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a major cause of mortality in
patients with epilepsy. Since cardiac arrhythmia may be a responsible factor, we sought to …

Autonomic symptoms frequently occur during epileptic seizures either as an accompaniment
to other seizure symptoms or as the predominant seizure manifestation. They do not …

Purpose: Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is a major cause of mortality for
patients with epilepsy. Cardiac factors may be involved and were evaluated in this study …
