Episode notes
Use Tapping To Characterize Palpitations
- Ask patients to tap the strength and rhythm of their palpitations to visualize symptoms.
- Use that bedside demonstration to guide further testing and monitoring choices.
Don't Default To Anxiety
- Don't reflexively label palpitations as anxiety; two things can be true.
- Women may be underdiagnosed for SVTs because symptoms are often dismissed as anxiety.
Leverage Wearables And Phone Videos
- Encourage patients to bring wearable device data and phone videos to clinic for interpretation.
- Use those recordings to rule out artifact or to identify possible AFib or other rhythms.
