You are correct that cardiac arrhythmias in general can be related as a risk factor to the precipitation of seizure type such as generalized, focal, or partial. also, at times cardiac arrhythmias can develop just ahead of seizure activity as electrical aberrancy's tend to become president or more prominent in the brain autonomic function may be disrupted and people with seizure disorders may become acutely aware of something happening such as flattering or palpitations in the chest, etc.
