OBJECTIVE: To determine whether patients with drug-resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy present with an alteration in the autonomic circadian regulation of blood pressure.
METHODS: A prospective case‒control study was designed, with a case group comprising patients with drug-resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy and a control group comprising healthy volunteers. Twenty-four-hour outpatient blood pressure monitoring was performed to assess the existence of a normal (dipping) or altered (non-dipping) circadian pattern. In addition, analytical and ultrasound parameters (carotid intima-media thickness) of vascular risk and sleep quality were evaluated.
RESULTS: Twenty-four subjects were recruited in each study group, amongst whom no demographic differences or history of vascular risk were observed. A higher percentage of participants with a non-dipping pattern was observed in the group of patients with epilepsy (62.5% vs. 12.5, p = 0.001). In the case group, significant differences were also observed in carotid intima-media thickness, with a greater probability of presenting with pathological values (p = 0.022).
CONCLUSION: The results suggest a disorder of the central autonomic control of blood pressure in patients with drug-resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy, with a greater probability of developing an alteration of the circadian rhythm of blood pressure. This dysfunction may be a factor involved in the increased cardiovascular risk in this population.
