Overview
When coming up with a differential diagnoses, it would be useful to link positive history,physical examination and ECG findings to cardiac (arrhythmia Related), cardiac (not related to arrhythmia), systemic causes (Non Cardiac), pharmacological causes and psychiatric causes.
Differentiating [Disease name] from other Diseases
- Palpitation in itself is not a condition but a symptom reflective of an underlying condition.
- When coming up with a differential diagnoses, it would be useful to link positive history,physical examination and ECG findings to any of the following 5 categories:[1][2][3][4][5]
- Cardiac (arrhythmia Related)
- Cardiac (Not related to arrhythmia)
- Systemic causes (Non cardiac)
- Pharmacological causes
- Psychiatric causes
