Unexpected cardiorespiratory findings postictally and at rest weeks prior to SUDEP
Frontiers in Neurology, 2023 IntroductionMechanisms underlying sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) are unclear, but autonomic disorders are thought to play a critical role. However, those dysfunctions have mainly been reported in the peri-ictal context of generalized tonic ...

Loss‐of‐function variants in Kv11.1 cardiac channels as a biomarker for SUDEP
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, 2021 Objective To compare the frequency and impact on the channel function of KCNH2 variants in SUDEP patients with epilepsy controls comprising patients older than 50 years, a group with low SUDEP risk, and establish loss‐of‐function KCNH2 variants as ...
