TLE is associated with cardio-autonomic dysfunction and increased cardiovascular (CV) risk in patients over the fifth decade of age. In these subjects, TLE can be classified as early-onset (EOTLE; i.e., patients who had developed epilepsy in their youth) and late-onset (LOTLE; i.e., patients who developed epilepsy in adulthood). Heart rate variability (HRV) analysis is useful for assessing cardio-autonomic function and identifying patients with increased CV risk.
