Autonomic changes following generalized tonic clonic seizures: An analysis of adult and pediatric patients with epilepsy.
OBJECTIVE Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the most common cause of mortality directly related to epilepsy. Its incidence is higher in adult patients and its pathophysiology remains poorly understood, but likely involves autonomic dysregulation following generalized tonic clonic seizures (GTCS). In the current study, we aimed to analyze post-ictal autonomic changes following GTCS ...

متن کاملDo generalized tonic-clonic seizures in infancy exist?
OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) in infants (1 month to 2 years).

متن کاملDetection of generalized tonic–clonic seizures using surface electromyographic monitoring
OBJECTIVE A prospective multicenter phase III trial was undertaken to evaluate the performance and tolerability in the epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU) of an investigational wearable surface electromyographic (sEMG) monitoring system for the detection of generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCSs). METHODS One hundred ninety-nine patients with a history of GTCSs who were admitted to the EMU in 11...
متن کاملProlonged atrial fibrillation following generalized tonic–clonic seizures
We describe two male patients with focal epilepsy in whom transitory episodes of atrial fibrillation (AF) lasting for up to 25h were detected in the context of generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCSs). In five of seven previously published cases of transitory AF associated with epileptic seizures, AF was also associated with GTCS, suggesting a pathophysiological link via GTCS-related increase ...
