Post-ictal Modulation of Baroreflex Sensitivity in Patients With Intractable Epilepsy

Post-ictal Modulation of Baroreflex Sensitivity in Patients With Intractable Epilepsy

Objective: Seizure-related autonomic dysregulation occurs in epilepsy patients and may contribute to Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP). We tested how different types of seizures affect baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and heart rate variability (HRV). We hypothesized that BRS and HRV would be...
