Pre-ictal heart rate variability assessment of epileptic seizures by means of linear and non-linear analyses.

CONCLUSION: Significant changes of HRV parameters in pre-ictal (5 minutes before the seizure) are obviously higher in comparison to interictal baseline. Pre-ictal significant changes of HRV suggesting that this time can be considered as prediction time for designing an algorithm of early detection of seizure onset based on HRV.
