Make the Diagnosis: Sudden Seizure?

(MedPage Today) -- Case Findings: A 20-year-old man presents to the ED after he suddenly collapsed while making popcorn. His girlfriend immediately called EMS, and when they arrived he was in TDP followed by ventricular fibrillation. His family and girlfriend denied any medical history, medications, or substance abuse, and a tox screen was negative. His family history is only significant for an older sibling who died suddenly of unknown causes suddenly at age 21. At the hospital, after cardioversion by EMS, his ECG looked like the image below, and the patient likely has congenital long QT syndrome. What would be a likely misdiagnosis for this patient?
