Recurrent syncope due to ischemic ventricular tachycardia masquerading as a seizure disorder treated with coronary revascularization: a case report
This case highlights ischaemia-associated ventricular tachycardia as a potentially reversible cause of syncope that may mimic seizures. Improvement was observed after revascularization, though the mechanism remains inferred and may have been influenced by concomitant amiodarone. Clinicians should consider cardiac arrhythmias in atypical seizure-like episodes, especially in adults with cardiovascular risk factors.
