ABSTRACT
This review first provides an overview of the epidemiology, risk factors, and etiology of SUDEP and then focuses on possible preventative measures, in particular n-3 fatty acids (omega-3 FAs). Some but not all animal and clinical studies have shown that omega-3 FAs could have direct cardiac benefits and may be useful in the prevention and treatment of epilepsy and, hence, possibly in the prevention of SUDEP.
