General practitioners, therapists, and cardiologists do not have formal education (training) regarding cerebrocardial syndrome, primarily heart rhythm and conduction disorders in epilepsy and sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP), as well as the potential arrhythmogenic effect of antiepileptic drugs. This lecture presents important elements of knowledge about the genetic predictors of cerebrocardial syndrome and SUDEP in juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, which is the most common form of genetic generalized epilepsy.
