Cardiac Arrhythmias in Focal Epilepsy: A Prospective Long-Term Study
Lancet 364:2212-2219,2157, Rugg,F.J.,et al, 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed
Article Abstract
Clinical characteristics of patients with peri-ictal cardiac abnormalities are closely similar to those at greatest risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. Asystole might underlie many of these deaths, which would have important implications for the investigation of similar patients and affect present cardiac-pacing policies.
