SUDEP – more attention to the heart? A narrative review on molecular autopsy in epilepsy

Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) has been identified as one of the most prevalent causes mortality epilepsy, and SUDEP consequently become an important topic research. The appear multifactorial, including epilepsy-induced cardiac arrest. Current understanding autopsy negative sudden unexplained (SUD) general population its relation to arrhythmic syndrome (SADS) could shed some light SUDEP. Mutual attention findings cardiology are discussed here. We performed a narrative review on SUDEP, molecular/genetic this population.
