Palpitations refer to forceful, rapid, or irregular heartbeats that patients describe as pounding, jumping, or racing. Palpitations can develop due to changes in heart rhythm like ectopic beats, compensatory pauses, high cardiac output, or valvular regurgitation. Specific types of irregular heart rhythms that cause palpitations include sinus tachycardia, paroxysmal tachycardia including supraventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter or fibrillation. Premature ectopic beats can also cause palpitations and are felt as a dropped beat followed by a stronger beat. Paroxysmal tachycardia episodes have a heart rate over 120 beats per minute and

PALPITATION CVS
PALPITATION Forceful or rapid beating of heart Patient describe Pounding Jumping Racing Irregularity of heart
PALPITATION CAN DEVELOPE Change in heart rhythm Ectopic beats Compensatory pause Augmented stroke volume due to valvar regurgitation High cardiac output All form of tachycardia sudden bradycardia
TACHYCARDIAS Sinus tachycardia may be due to anxiety, anemia fever or drugs etc Paroxysmal tachycardia due to SVT atrial flutter or fibrillation palpitation = slow, fast or irregular heart rhythm
PREMATURE (ECTOPIC) BEATS Usually due to atrial or ventricular ectopic beats Patient describe it dropped beat because the premature beat followed by the a pause before next normal beat which is more forceful as a result of longer diastolic filling period Most of the time it is related to anxiety and aggravated by chocolate and excessive intake of tea.
PAROXYSMAL TACHYCARDIA Beats are >120/min Starting abruptly and terminating suddenly result from the proxysmal supraventricular (atrial or junctional ) tachycardia or ventricular tachycardia Paroxysmal Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation are common causes Some patient feel tachycardia on standing from sitting position associated with mild drop in BP symptoms is dizziness These patient have form of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)
Paroxysmal tachycardia when prolonged may be associated with Syncope Dyspnea Chest pain Diagnose measure BP check pulse and perform ECG Avoidance of stress, coffee and treatment with beta blockers are usually enough to control the symptoms
BRADYCARDIA Generally palpitation means is tachycardia Sometime patients of heart block and bradycardia also complain of palpitation Ghabrahat is very conmen Restlessness
