Postictal generalized EEG suppression (PGES) seems to be a pathophysiological hallmark in ictal recordings of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). It has recently been suggested that presence and duration of PGES might be predictors of SUDEP risk. Little is known about the aetiology of PGES. We conducted a retrospective case-control study in 50 people with convulsive seizures (CS) recorded on digital video-EEG. One CS per individual was reviewed for presence and duration of PGES by two independent observers: Pre- and postictal heart rate (HR) (1 minute before seizure onset and 1, 3, 5, 15 and 30 minutes after seizure end) and frequency domain measures of heart rate variability (HRV) including the ratio of low versus high frequency power were analyzed. The relationship between PGES and peri-ictal autonomic changes was evaluated, as well as its association with several clinical variables. Thirty seven (74%) individuals exhibited PGES and 13 (26%) did not. CS resulted in a significant increase of peri-ictal HR and the LF/HF ratio. PGES was associated with neither peri-ictal HR (mean HR difference between PGES+ and PGES− seizures: −2 bpm, 95% CI −10 to +6 bpm) nor HRV change. There was no association between the duration of PGES and peri-ictal HR change. People with PGES were more likely to be asleep prior to seizure onset (OR 4.7, 95% CI 1.2-18.3) and had a higher age of onset of epilepsy (median age 15 vs. 4 years). PGES was not associated with substantial changes in measures of cardiac autonomic instability but was more prevalent in CS arising from sleep.
