Hereditary Long Q-T Syndrome Presenting as Epilepsy:Electroencephalography Laboratory Diagnosis
Ann Neurol 25:514-516, Gospe,S.M.&Choy,M., 1989
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Patients with hereditary Q-T interval prolongation can present with seizures,syncope,and sudden death.In 2 siblings with autosomal dominant familial long Q-T syndrome,electroencephalographic examinations performed 6 to 2 years before diagnosis included electrocardiographic tracings documenting the cardiac abnormality.A timely diagnosis of this condition may have prevented the death of 1 of these patients.Measurement of the corrected Q-T interval on electrocardiographic tracings obtained in the electroencephalography laboratory should be considered in selected patients.
