A regular twelve-lead electrocardiogram (EKG) can be a beneficial tool in the neurology clinic to help uncover causes of some clinical presentations such as loss of consciousness [1]. However, since it only lasts for a few seconds, it is poorly sensitive for capturing paroxysmal arrhythmias [2]. A single lead EKG is routinely recorded simultaneously with electroencephalogram (EEG). This rather extended monitoring can be more helpful in capturing different cardiac arrhythmias [3-5]. Such arrhythmias can be related to the patient’s presentation as in some cases of dizziness or impaired level of consciousness, or they can be incidental findings of high significance such as atrial fibrillation (Afib) [3], drawing attention to possible underlying undiagnosed cardiac conditions with critical therapeutic implications [3, 6, 7].
