Characteristics of patients presenting to a cardiac clinic with palpitation

Abstract

LE JOURNAL CANADIEN DES SCIENCES NEUROLOGIQUES Suppl. 2-S31 opinion from public health nurses and infectious disease specialists. Results: There is currently little consensus about vaccination protocols for patients initiating immunosuppressive therapy. We integrated information from all of our sources to create a preliminary protocol for the vaccination of MS patients prior to initiation of immunosup-pressive therapy. Conclusions: More work needs to be done to create standardized vaccination protocols for MS patients who will be undergoing immunosuppressive therapy. We have created a preliminary protocol in conjunction with public health to standardize the vaccinations that MS patients receive. We hope that this will streamline immunization of patients immediately after diagnosis of MS so that initiation of immunosuppressive therapy will not be delayed in the future.

Heart palpitation relief with Melissa officinalis leaf extract: Double blind, randomized, placebo controlled trial of efficacy and safety

“…Palpitation is defined as an abnormal, unpleasant or heightened awareness of heartbeat (Brugada et al, 1993;Khamis and Dancy, 2009;Mayou et al, 2003;Zimetbaum and Josephson, 1998). It is the second most common reason in general practice for which patients are referred to a cardiologist (Mayou, 1998).…”

Palpitations Caused by a Seizure with Autonomic Features = خفقان بسبب نوبة صرع العصب اللاإرادي

“…1 Palpitations can also be related to neurological problems; they may result from seizures involving the autonomic system, such as complex partial seizures, generalised tonicclonic seizures or simple partial seizures. 2 If these are associated with respiratory dysfunction, they may lead to sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP).…”

Myeloproliferative disorder therapy: assessment and management of adverse events—a cardiologist's perspective

“…Palpitations are a symptom characterized by a heightened awareness of the heart beat [2,5]. Palpitations as a symptom may be distinct from arrhythmias in that they are a symptom and may have a non-cardiac cause, whereas arrhythmias are, by definition, an abnormal cardiac rhythm.…”

“…Concern about cardiac health may be heightened by experiencing sensations such as palpitations and tachycardia. Palpitations are often associated with marked disability, and the anxiety they can create amongst patients can also be challenging for physicians to manage [2]. Although they can occur in healthy people, increased occurrence of palpitations and tachycardia has been described in patients with myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs) treated with agents such as anagrelide and interferon-a [3,4].…”
