Epileptic seizure-induced cardiac injury as a cause of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy: Evidence from pathological analyses

Journal of Forensic Science and Medicine, 2018
Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the most frequent cause of death in people with epilepsy. The detailed mechanisms of SUDEP have not been elucidated.

Artificial intelligence for adaptive neuromodulation in drug‐resistant epilepsy

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) affects nearly one third of people with epilepsy and is associated with substantial cognitive, psychiatric, and mortality burdens. For patients who are not candidates for resection or laser interstitial thermal therapy, neuromodulation therapies such as vagus nerve stimulation, deep brain stimulation, and ...

Management of ring chromosome 20 syndrome: Narrative review and consensus recommendations

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Ring chromosome 20 (ring 20) is a rare genetic condition usually presenting as developmental and epileptic encephalopathy. The disease is caused by fusion of the long and short arms of chromosome 20. Patients are symptomatic even if there is no loss of genetic material.

Listening across frequencies: Capturing seizures of all patients to advance antiseizure medication development

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Seizure frequency has been the primary endpoint in epilepsy trials, with enrollment usually requiring ≥4 seizures per month. This threshold is more and more misaligned with clinical reality, as the availability of more treatment options has reduced baseline seizure burden, with a risk of excluding a proportion of patients from trials. Although

Epilepsy and hypertension: The possible link for sudden unexpected death in epilepsy?

Cardiology Journal, 2021
Epilepsy affects about 50 million people worldwide. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the main cause of death in epilepsy accounting for up to 17% of all deaths in epileptic patients, and therefore remains a major public health problem ...

Effect of epileptogenesis on hypercapnic cardioventilatory response in kainic acid rats

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Cardioventilatory failure is the leading mechanism proposed to underlie sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), which occurs predominantly at night in patients with generalized tonic–clonic seizures. Interictal hypercapnic cardioventilatory responses are suggested to be involved, as they are ablated in chronically epileptic ...

Predicting seizure freedom in the postpartum period: Findings from the Maternal Outcomes and Neurodevelopmental Effects of Antiepileptic Drugs study

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to evaluate whether seizure freedom in pregnancy predicts seizure freedom in the postpartum period in women with epilepsy (WWE). Prior studies have shown that seizure freedom prior to conception strongly predicts seizure freedom during pregnancy.

Seizure relapse in new onset epilepsy: It is not always drug resistance

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Seizure recurrence in new onset epilepsy (NOE) can result from various factors. Although drug ineffectiveness is frequently investigated, other causes—such as nonadherence, inadequate treatment, nonepileptic events (e.g., functional/dissociative), or acute symptomatic seizures—also impact patient outcomes.
