Early HR reduction at onset associated with temporal origin; leaves open whether autonomic monitoring improves outpatient risk stratification.
Do partial epileptic seizures of different origins variably affect cardiac rhythm in outpatients?
Partial epileptic seizures frequently alter heart rate at onset, with early heart rate decreases being predominantly associated with seizures of temporal lobe origin.
Galimberti et al. (1996) studied this question.
