Cardiac dysregulation following intrahippocampal kainate-induced status epilepticus.

Abstract

Status epilepticus (SE) is a prevalent disorder associated with significant morbidity, including the development of epilepsy and mortality. Cardiac arrhythmias (i.e. inappropriate sinus tachycardia and bradycardia, asystole, and atrioventricular blocks) are observed in patients following SE. We characterized ictal (during a seizure) and interictal (between seizure) cardiac arrhythmogenesis following SE using continuous electrocardiography and video electroencephalography (vEEG) recordings throughout a 14-day monitoring period in an intrahippocampal chemoconvulsant mouse model that develops epilepsy. We quantified heart rhythm abnormalities and examined whether the frequency of cardiac events correlated with epileptiform activity, circadian (light/dark) cycle, the presence of seizures, and survival during this period of early epileptogenesis (the development of epilepsy) following SE. Shortly following SE, mice developed an increased interictal heart rate and heart rhythm abnormalities (i.e. sinus pause and sinus arrhythmias) when compared to control mice. Heart rhythm abnormalities were more frequent during the light cycle and were not correlated with increased epileptiform activity or seizure frequency. Finally, SE animals had...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Bradyarrhythmias

Bradyarrhythmias are slow heart rates. Symptoms may include syncope, dizziness, fatigure, shortness of breath, and chest pains. Find the latest research on bradyarrhythmias here.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
