dc.description | Numerous hereditary and non-hereditary central nervous system (CNS) disorders, affect the heart
directly or indirectly leading to(brain-heart disorders). Examples of so would include epilepsy, stroke,
subarachnoid bleeding, bacterial meningitis, and head injury. Also, multiple hereditary and nonhereditary
neurodegenerative disorders may impair cardiac functions. effects on the heart would
cause arrhythmias, cardiomyopathy, or autonomic dysfunction. Rarer cardiac complications of CNS
disorders include heart failure, systolic or diastolic dysfunction, myocardial infarction, or arterial
hypertension. Cardiomyopathy induced by hereditary CNS disease mainly include stress-induced
myocardial dysfunction, known as Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). CNS disease triggering TTS includes
epilepsy, ischemic stroke, subarachnoid bleeding, or PRES syndrome. Arrhythmias induced by
hereditary CNS disease include supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias leading to palpitations,
dizziness, vertigo, fainting, syncope, (near) sudden cardiac death, or sudden unexplained death in
epilepsy (SUDEP). Appropriate management of cardiac involvement in CNS-disorders is essential to
improve outcome of affected patients | en_US |
