Overview

Arrhythmias may contribute to SUDEP but evidence does not support routine monitoring or devices; leaves open prospective trials in epilepsy.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Epilepsy patients, especially those with chronic, uncontrolled epilepsy in the United States

Cardiac arrhythmias play a prominent role in the pathogenesis of SUDEP, highlighting a need for further research on cardiovascular monitoring and device therapy in epilepsy patients.
