Overview

The treatment strategy for patients presenting with palpitation is directed towards treating the underlying cause. A physician needs to follow a standardized approach (which varies from institution to institution) in order to decide which patients can be discharged with the advice to follow up with a cardiologist and which patients require further workup.
