Brain injury?: Patients who have heart disease may also have injury to the brain. During episodes of arrhythmia or heart failure there can be injury to the brain from emboli or inadequate blood flow. These can leave small scars in the brain that can then develop into seizure foci. This is actually a fairly common problem. Appropriate management must include both heart and brain treatment.
