“…In two of these studies, the association between psychological distress and the occurrence of ICD shocks has approached statistical significance in univariate analysis (p = 0.09) [32,33]. The studies [39,40] both stem from the AVID trial, and they only differ in sample size, follow-up duration and covariates included.

“…A substudy of the prospective AVID trial showed that a disease-specific quality of life measurement (Quality of Life Index -Cardiac Version [QLI-CV]) was a significant predictor of all-cause mortality, even after controlling for conventional clinical risk factors, including left ventricular function and symptomatic heart failure [39,40]. However, the mental health component score of the generic 36-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) was not associated with mortality.…”

“…Further evidence that psychological disorders can be relevant for cardiovascular disease and mortality has been reported by Steinberg et al [13]. They described that psychological status assessed by different quality-of-life instruments can predict mortality in patients with a history of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias [13].…”

Panic attacks and supraventricular tachycardias: the chicken or the egg?

Panic attacks occur in about 2 % of the population. Symptoms include a racing or pounding heart beat, chest pain, dizziness, light-headedness, nausea, difficulty in breathing, tingling or numbness in the hands, flushes or chills, dreamlike sensations or perceptual distortions. The symptoms of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) may be similar. A PSVT is often difficult to document on the ECG since it has often ceased before the patient comes to medical attention. Besides, a tachycardia may still be present and even be documented but interpreted as a phenomenon secondary to the panic attack. In addition, ECG abnormalities between episodes can often not be identified. The evidence that in some patients paroxysmal SVT is the cause, but not the consequence of a panic attack, is based on observations that catheter ablation was able to cure patients presenting with panic disorders. To better establish the prevalence of SVT as the underlying mechanism of a panic attack, there is a need for prospective studies and/or registries. Whereas gastric ulcer has in some patients changed from a psychosomatic disorder to an infectious disease, we may hypothesise that a certain proportion of panic disorders may mutate into an underlying arrhythmia rather than a primary psychiatric disorder.
