Cardiac arrhythmias may cause syncopal attacks masquerading as epilepsy. Conversely, epileptic seizures can induce tachyarrhythmias or bradyarrhythmias (and rarely, as a result, fainting). Differentiating between these two possibilities may prove difficult without concomitant ECG and EEG recording.
