Abstract
Elevated troponin levels can occur after a GTC seizure. Patients at risk are the elderly and those with cardiovascular risk factors. Our results suggest that elevation of troponin levels after a GTC seizure reflects a minor ischemic cardiac injury related to the demand ischemia during the sympathetic overactivity that accompanies a GTC seizure.
