Fig. 1 The scatter plot of maximum heart rate versus SUDEP-7 score. The SUDEP-7 inventory scale was positively correlated with maximum heart rate (Pearson r=0.3, p=0.03). Patient who died of SUDEP is marked with a black dot. Epilepsy & Behavior 2017 71, 60-64DOI: (10.1016/j.yebeh.2017.04.018) Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
Fig. 2 Scatter plot of SDANN-index versus age in patients and healthy controls. The inverse correlation was significant in both groups which is more prominent in patients (r=0.5, p=0.002 in patient group vs. r=0.2, p=0.04 in healthy controls). Patient who died of SUDEP is marked with a black dot. Epilepsy & Behavior 2017 71, 60-64DOI: (10.1016/j.yebeh.2017.04.018) Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc. Terms and Conditions
