摘要: Sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP) is the most common cause of patients with intractable epilepsy. The substantial lifetime risk SUDEP and lack a clear pathophysiological connection between itself sudden have fuelled increased attention to this phenomenon. Understanding mechanisms underlying paramount developing preventative strategies. In review, we discuss population studies, case-control witnessed monitored cases, as well human seizure cardiorespiratory findings related SUDEP, animal models. We integrate these data suggest probable SUDEP. modifiable factors pathophysiology allows us potential
