Evaluation of Patients with Palpitations

Zimetbaum, Peter, Josephson, Mark E.·1998·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Palpitations are one of the most common problems of outpatients who present to internists and cardiologists. Although usually benign, they are occasionally a manifestation of potentially life-threatening conditions. The physician's fear of missing a treatable condition may lead to the inappropriate use of expensive tests with little diagnostic and therapeutic value. The following discussion will describe the common presentations of palpitations and offer a guide to rational diagnostic testing.Common Presentations: Symptoms and Associated CircumstancesSymptomsPalpitations are described in a myriad of ways, but some specific symptoms are common and useful for narrowing the differential diagnosis.Flip-Flopping in the . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
