Ictal asystole in epilepsy patients undergoing inpatient video-EEG monitoring.
Ictal asystole (IA) is uncommonly diagnosed and has been implicated as a potential cause of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy. Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy is an increasingly recognizable condition and is more likely to occur in patients with medically intractable epilepsy and those suffering from convulsive epilepsy. We report 2 cases of recent onset of prolonged syncope and unreveali...
متن کاملIctal asystole and ictal syncope: insights into clinical management.
BACKGROUND Ictal asystole is a rare, serious, and often treatable cause of syncope. There are currently limited data to guide management. Characterization of ictal syncope predictors may aid in the selection of high-risk patients for treatments such as pacemakers. METHODS AND RESULTS We searched our epilepsy monitoring unit database from October 2003 to July 2013 for all patients with ictal a...
متن کاملRemote monitoring of electroencephalogram, electrocardiogram, and behavior during controlled atmosphere stunning in broilers: implications for welfare.
This study examined the welfare implications of euthanizing broilers with 3 gas mixtures relevant to the commercial application of controlled atmosphere stunning (CAS). Birds were implanted/equipped with electrodes to measure brain activity (electroencephalogram, EEG) and heart rate. These signals were recorded using a purpose-built telemetry-logging system, small enough to be worn by each bird...
متن کاملRecurrence risk of ictal asystole in epilepsy
OBJECTIVE To determine the recurrence risk of ictal asystole (IA) and its determining factors in people with epilepsy. METHODS We performed a systematic review of published cases with IA in 3 databases and additionally searched our local database for patients with multiple seizures simultaneously recorded with ECG and EEG and at least one IA. IA recurrence risk was estimated by including all ...
متن کاملBrain seizes, heart ceases: a case of ictal asystole.
Epileptic seizures commonly result in changes of cardiac rate. Although tachycardias are much more frequent, ictal bradycardia and asystole may be life threatening and contribute to the syndrome of sudden unexplained death in epileptic patients. DiVerentiation between primary cardiac and cerebrogenic bradyarrhythmia is possible with the use of simultaneous EEG and ECG recording. The correct ide...
