Abstract
Refractory epilepsy confers a considerable lifetime risk of sudden unexplained death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Mechanisms may overlap with sudden cardiac death (SCD), particularly regarding QTc prolongation. Guidelines in the United States do not mandate the use of electrocardiography (ECG) in diagnostic evaluation of seizures or epilepsy.The purpose of this study was to determine the frequency of ECG use and of QT prolongation, and whether QT...
