An electrocardiographic anxiety- induced quadrigeminy and re-assurance
Abstract Quadrigeminy means a cardiac arrhythmia in which every fourth beat is a premature ventricular contraction (extrasystole) or three sinus beats between extrasystoles. Premature ventricular contractions is one of the manifestations of sympathetic over activity due to anxiety. However, anxiety...

| description | Abstract Quadrigeminy means a cardiac arrhythmia in which every fourth beat is a premature ventricular contraction (extrasystole) or three sinus beats between extrasystoles. Premature ventricular contractions is one of the manifestations of sympathetic over activity due to anxiety. However, anxiety might induce electrocardiographic (ECG) changes in normal person with normal heart, as in this documented case. Patient reassurance is a therapeutic option, without need for any other pharmacological interventions. |
