  • Title: High-grade atrioventricular block triggered by spontaneous and stimulation-induced epileptic activity in the left temporal lobe.
    Author: Altenmüller DM, Zehender M, Schulze-Bonhage A.
    Journal: Epilepsia; 2004 Dec; 45(12):1640-4. PubMed ID: 15571524.
    Abstract:
    Cardiac bradyarrhythmias may play a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). We describe a patient with left temporal lobe epilepsy in whom high-grade atrioventricular conduction blocks were triggered by both spontaneous and stimulation-induced epileptic activity in the left temporal lobe. Electrophysiological data obtained by surface and intracranial electrodes point to a cerebral cardioarrhythmogenesis in the left amygdala and anterior hippocampus.
