A compilation of clinical, pathological, and experimental data pertinent to the enigmatic and pernicious problem of sudden, unexplainable death in people with epilepsy. Information on the subject is brought into line with what is already known about neurogenic changes in the cardiovascular system, as seen in subarachnoid hemorrhage and other stroke syndromes. Effective therapy will be developed only when some of the research and ideas presented here are further understood. Annotation(c) 2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
