Abstract
Ictal heart rate changes are present only in partial seizures in this childhood epilepsy study. The changes can be observed in temporal lobe seizures as well as in frontal lobe seizures. Heart rate changes precede seizure onset in 70% of the focal seizures, making seizure detection and closed-loop systems a possible therapeutic alternative in the population of children with refractory epilepsy.
