Neural Circulatory Control and SUDEP Risk.
Neural Circulatory and Respiratory Control in Patients With Epilepsy and the Risk of Sudden Unexpected Death.
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 11 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The investigators believe epilepsy alters the way the body controls blood pressure, heart rate and breathing, and these changes increase the risk of sudden unexpected death in patients with epilepsy (SUDEP). SUDEP-7 is a risk scoring tool which may correlate with these changes to the heart and blood vessels. This research study measures those differences which may help identify new markers to help predict those patients at greatest risk in the future.
