Abstract

It is well known that episodic loss of consciousness and convulsions may have a cardiac rather than a cerebral origin (1). We report a case where these episodes were caused by recurrent ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation secondary to idiopathic long QT syndrome which was effectively treated with amiodarone.
