cTnI, BNP and CRP profiling after seizures in patients with drug-resistant epilepsy

Epileptic seizures may induce elevations of serum cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) or T (cTnT) 1 –8, B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) 1,9–11, and C reactive protein (CRP) 12–14, which could reflect cardiac injuries, possibly associated with Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP).
