The number of years the patients had epilepsy, the frequency of seizures, the duration of seizures, and the AEDs they used were recorded. Standard 12-lead ECG was applied to the patients, and QT intervals, Tp-e interval, Tp-e\/QT ratio, and Tp-e\/QTd ratio were measured.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Patients most commonly use levatiracetam, valproic acid (VPA), carbamazepine, and lamotrigine, respectively. The median seizure time of the patients was 120 seconds. There was no difference regarding ECG parameters among seizure types.
