Seizures can disrupt the autonomic nervous system, potentially leading to cardiac arrhythmias, which are abnormal heart rhythms. Cardiac arrhythmias can cause convulsive syncope, a condition ...

Targeting high-normal potassium levels reduced the risk of arrhythmias, hospitalization for heart failure or arrhythmia and death compared with no intervention, according to late-breaking research ...

Malignant arrhythmias are dangerous heart rhythm problems that can lead to cardiac arrest, most often originating in the heart’s lower chambers. These arrhythmias are frequently linked to underlying ...

Seizures can increase the risk of arrhythmias. Additionally, seizure medications may cause arrhythmias alongside other cardiovascular problems. Arrhythmias occur when the heart beats abnormally.

Cardiac arrhythmias following myocardial infarction (MI) predict poor outcome. β-blockers are effective ventricular antiarrhythmics and angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors can prevent both ...
