Clinical considerations on the relationship between epilepsy and cardiovascular diseases

Year: 2007

Type: article

Abstract: There have been reports regarding higher risk of unexpected death in epileptic patients. The aim of this review is to investigate causes of epilepsy-related death with special attention to cardiovascular mechanisms. Due to their high incidence among the general population, epilepsy and cardiovascular diseases are likely to coexist in a certain proportion of patients. The effect of calcium channel antagonists - representing drugs commonly used in cardiac pathology - on seizure control is also discussed on the basis of available experimental data.
