Summary

Epilepsy is a chronic disease triggered by increased impulsiveness of nerve cells in the brain and may require a lifelong treatment. Epilepsy is confirmed by two or more unprovoked seizures in more than 24 hours. Febrile Convulsion is another type of seizure occurring due to fever over 38 °C without a history of convulsion, CNS infection, electrolyte imbalance, metabolic disorder, intoxication, and trauma. Unlike epileptic seizures, there are non-epileptic seizures such as Breath Holding Spells that affect children's behaviors and often look like epileptic seizures.

QT parameters elongation show the danger of dysrhythmia and unexpected sicknesses such as cardiomyopathy, mitral valve prolapse, ischemic coronary illness, and kidney disorders.

Many investigators have reported changes in QT parameters in various diseases such as diabetes mellitus, celiac disease, thalassemia , epilepsy ,Breath holding spells and febrile seizure.
