ABSTRACT
We describe a patient with severe epilepsy who underwent serial measurements of heart rate variability (HRV) prior to his death from autopsy-confirmed sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). The significance of low HRV is discussed in relation to SUDEP risk. Progressive deterioration in HRV may be a risk factor for SUDEP.
