摘要
Epilepsy is the most common neurological disorder and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the most important direct epilepsy-related cause of death. The cause of SUDEP is still unknown, however, the most commonly suggested mechanisms are cardiac abnormalities. Based on this, in this review the relationship between SUDEP and cardiac abnormalities has been emphasized.
