Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy: Mechanisms and New Methods for Analyzing Risks is a comprehensive book that delves into the clinical problem of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Building upon previous works that have focused on this issue, this book presents a methodology for identifying and classifying clusters of risks that contribute to SUDEP. Developed over the past two years, the SUDEP Classification System and Risk Factor Cluster ID method aim to address gaps in our understanding of the causes and potential prevention of this tragic complication.

The book explores the intricate interactions between the central and peripheral autonomic nervous systems and the cardiopulmonary systems, providing valuable insights into the mechanisms underlying SUDEP. It includes case studies of SUDEP, both definite and probable, as well as near miss cases, highlighting the importance of early identification and intervention.

By detailing the development of an international database of human cases and animal models of SUDEP, the book underscores the need for collaborative research in the laboratory, hospital, and clinic. It suggests how medical examiner and coroner offices can strengthen the database by providing information about incidences of SUDEP. Additionally, the book outlines related clinical and animal studies that are necessary to classify risk factors for SUDEP victims.

Understanding the risk factors and mechanisms underlying SUDEP is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies. This book serves as a valuable resource for medical professionals, researchers, and policymakers, fostering collaboration and driving progress in the field of SUDEP research and management.
