Evaluation Of QT Dispersion in Epileptic Patients and its Association with SUDEP Risk

Document Type : Abstracts

Abstract

Mortality in epileptic patients was attributed
to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy
(SUDEP). The precise pathophysiology of
SUDEP is not fully understood, yet
prolongation of ventricular repolarization
particularly QTc interval suggested to be 
one of the contributing risk factor for
SUDEP. Objectives: We aimed at evaluation
of QTc and QT dispersion (QTD) in patients
with epilepsy (both refractory and wellcontrolled epilepsy) and their association
with the epileptic severity and sudden 
unexplained death (SUDEP) risk.
