Research progress in epilepsy⁃related cardiac function changes

Abstract

The exact mechanism of epilepsy affecting cardiac function remains unclear. Therelated researchs are mainly about changes in EEG, heart rate variability (HRV), cardiac autonomic function at interictal and peri⁃ictal phase of different types of epilepsy seizures. This article summarizes characteristics of cardiac function changes and the influencing factors by reviewing demographic characteristics, seizure features, treatment of epilepsy patients and their association with cardiac indicators.
