Heart rhythm changes in children with epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how epilepsy might affect the heart's electrical activity in children. It aims to see if there are changes in the heart's rhythm that could be important for your child's health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 1 and 18 years old.
- You must have a diagnosis of epilepsy.
- You need to have had a routine EEG (brain wave test) as part of your care.
- You must not have a known heart condition like arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat) or heart failure.
- You must not be taking medications that significantly affect the heart's electrical activity.
- Your seizures must not be caused by other medical issues like low blood sugar or high sodium.

This study looks at how epilepsy and seizure medications affect the heart's rhythm control in children. It uses non-invasive tests (heart rate variability and QT interval) to measure heart health. The results may help doctors understand and manage heart risks in children with epilepsy.
This study checks whether genetic markers are linked to heart rhythm problems in people with epilepsy or seizure-related events, and in some close relatives. It may help doctors better spot who is at risk for dangerous heart rhythm issues.
This study looks at heart health in children with brain or nerve conditions like epilepsy, stroke, or migraine. It uses simple, safe tests to see if heart problems are linked to these conditions.
This study looks at how well the kidneys work in children who have epilepsy. It may help doctors understand how epilepsy or its treatment affects kidney health.
This study is for children and teens in a hospital psychiatric ward who are starting a new medicine that might affect their heart's rhythm. It will check your heart with an ECG (electrocardiogram) to make sure it stays safe.
This study looks at heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias) in children who come to the emergency department with symptoms like palpitations, chest pain, fainting, or trouble breathing. The goal is to understand how common these rhythm issues are and how they are diagnosed and managed.
