Evaluation of Palpitations in Cardiology Practice

The chapter delves into a systematic approach for assessing patients with palpitations in cardiology practice, emphasizing the importance of history taking and differentiating between benign and serious underlying conditions. It highlights red flag symptoms, common differentials like ectopic beats and tachycardia, and the significance of exploring systemic diseases like thyroid abnormalities. The discussion also involves examining beyond cardiology, considering factors like valvular heart disease and obstructive sleep apnea's impact on conditions like atrial fibrillation.
