asystole is a rare occurrence for patients that have temporal lobe epilepsy It can often be identified by loss of muscle tone or the

asystole , which is the cessation of heart rhythm entirely.
Kaynak: HeartTranscutaneous pacing is no longer indicated for the treatment of
asystole (cardiac arrest associated with a "flat line" on the ECG ),
Kaynak: Transcutaneous pacingThis is a potentially life-threatening arrhythmia because it may lead to ventricular fibrillation ,
asystole , and sudden death .
Kaynak: Ventricular tachycardiathis reflex may also occur with adults. Bradycardia , junctional rhythm,
asystole , and very rarely death can be induced through this reflex.
