title: [Status of the heart conduction system in patients with epileptic seizures].
abstract: Diagnostic computer-aided transesophageal cardiac pacing was used to examine 45 patients with epileptic seizures of different genesis, who had no signs of cardiac rhythm derangement. 28 patients with heart arrhythmias and 30 practically healthy persons served as control groups. 64.44% of the patients with epileptic seizures manifested different types of latent pathology in the heart conduction system. Among the practically healthy persons, the analogous parameter was 10%, with premature heart beats being recorded only in single cases. 60.71% of the control group patients with heart arrhythmias showed alterations of the epileptic type demonstrated by the EEG. It is concluded that there is a close relationship between the epileptic process and pathology of the heart conduction system. Of definite role in this chain is the factor of the focal nature of the epileptic impairment, particularly the involvement of the ++temporo-diencephalic structures and ++limbico-reticular complex.
