Abstract
A 30-year-old elite professional footballer was diagnosed with post-concussive epilepsy. Following neurological evaluation he was found to have cardiac dysrhythmia, rather than epilepsy, causing cognitive dysfunction. The cardiac abnormality was identified during his electroencephalogram (EEG), which included a modified lead 2 rhythm strip in which he was shown to have marked bradycardia and pulses bigeminy.
