Heart rate variability in neonatal patients with seizures

Seizures are the most common alterations observed in neurological conditions affecting newborns (Evans and Levene, 1998). Due to its larger excitability, the developing brain is more prone to seizures than the mature brain (Holmes and Ben-Ari, 1998; Lawrence and Inder, 2010; Levene, 2002; Nardou et al., 2013). The incidence of neonatal seizures (NS) is about 1 to 3 per 1000 live births, but this estimate increases when preterm infants are included (Vasudevan and Levene, 2013). NS are generally related to serious brain conditions (e.g.
