Heart rate and rhythm study in children with epilepsy
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
