Last year during our SUDEP Action Day webinar ([link removed]) , we learned that there is strong evidence of the association between breathing problems and SUDEP ([link removed]) . However, there is also equally strong data for cardiac abnormalities, particularly cardiac arrhythmias (irregular heartbeat) playing a role in SUDEP. In fact, studies have found mutations in genes associated with cardiac arrhythmias in 15% of SUDEP cases.^1

This webinar will help viewers learn how inherited neuronal or cardiac diseases may lead to electrical disturbances in both the brain and heart, how altered cardiac function may lead to SUDEP, and why it is critical for the epilepsy community to take a holistic approach to fully understand biological changes that ultimately cause SUDEP.

The webinar is free to attend and is intended for everyone, including persons with epilepsy, their friends and family, and caregivers. You can submit questions in advance to [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) or during the Q&A section of the webinar.
