Abstract

Objectives: Ictal and interictal ECG abnormalities are not rare in patients with epilepsy. The diagnosis of those arrhythmias using video-EEG monitoring may provide help for prediction of lateralization-localization of epileptic focus and choosing apropriate antiepileptic drugs. The aim of our study was to define arrhythmias during simultaneous routine EEG-ECG recordings and to analyze the effect of these on the management of the patients.
