Risk factors in sudden death in epilepsy (SUDEP): the quest for mechanisms Nashef L; Hindocha N; Makoff AEpilepsia 2007[May]; 48 (5): 859-71People with epilepsy may die suddenly and unexpectedly without a structural pathological cause. Most SUDEP cases are likely to be related to seizures. SUDEP incidence varies and is <1:1,000 person-years among prevalent cases in the community and approximately 1:250 person years in specialist centres. Case-control studies identified certain risk factors, some potentially amenable to manipulation, including uncontrolled convulsive seizures and factors relating to treatment and supervision. Both respiratory and cardiac mechanisms are important. The apparent protective effect of lay supervision supports an important role for respiratory factors, in part amenable to intervention by simple measures. Whereas malignant tachyarrhythmias are rare during seizures, sinus bradycardia/arrest, although infrequent, is well documented. Both types of arrhythmias can have a genetic basis. This article reviews SUDEP and explores the potential of coexisting liability to cardiac arrhythmias as a contributory factor, while acknowledging that at present, bridging evidence between cardiac inherited gene determinants and SUDEP is lacking.|Anticonvulsants/adverse effects/therapeutic use[MESH]|Arrhythmias, Cardiac/*epidemiology/genetics/mortality[MESH]|Case-Control Studies[MESH]|Cause of Death[MESH]|Death, Sudden, Cardiac/epidemiology[MESH]|Death, Sudden/*epidemiology[MESH]|Epilepsy/drug therapy/epidemiology/*mortality[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Risk Factors[MESH] |
