Effects of Phenobarbital and Levetiracetam on PR and QTc Intervals in Patients with Post-Stroke Seizure
Sudden unexplained/unexpected death (SUDEP) is related to high mortality in patients with epilepsy.

In this study, we evaluated the effects of phenobarbital and levetiracetam on PR-QTc intervals in patients with post-stroke seizures
