Falls give another reason for taking seizures to heart

Abstract

In their report, Rubboli et al. illustrate, with video-EEG monitoring, striking examples of three patients with medically intractable focal seizures with sudden falls resulting from seizure-induced cardiac asystole.³ They present the clinical characteristics of such events, and demonstrate the value of video-EEG monitoring for diagnosing seizure-induced cardiac asystole and guiding subsequent therapy.³
