1 Palpitations Julie Martino, MD, FACEP Emergency Medicine physician Advocate Illinois Masonic Associate program director, Emergency Medicine residency, University of Illinois at Chicago

2 Disclosures I have no relevant financial relationships with the manufacturer of any commercial product and/or providers of commercial services discussed in this CME activity I do not intend to discuss an unapproved/investigative use of a commercial product/device in my presentation.

3 Objectives 1. Develop a step wise approach to address "palpitations." 2. Integrate best practice management option for these arrhythmias. 3. Learn to better evaluate ECGs and develop management options.

4 Definition

5 Remember to ask: Description of symptoms Triggers During exercise? Standing up straight after bending forward? During sleep? Associated symptoms (syncope) Family hx of sudden cardiac death Medications

6 Differential?

7 Remember to check: Murmurs? Cannon A waves? CHF findings? Signs of systemic disease: pallor, exophthalmos, tremor, mydriasis

8 EBM? Increased probability of arrhythmia: Cardiac hx (LR 2) Palpitations waking pt from sleep (LR 2) Palpitations while at work (LR 2) Resting bradycardia (LR 3) Decreased probability of arrhythmia: Hx panic disorder (LR 0.25) Palpitations duration <5min (LR 0.35)

9 Good history & physical exam EKG

10 Short PR or Delta wave QTc<480 msec LVH with deep Q-waves in lateral leads TWI V1-3 and Epsilon waves RBBB pattern with ST elevation in V1-3 WPW Long QT Syndrome Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy ARVC Brugada Red Flag EKG findings

11 EKGs What is the diagnosis and/or management?

30 Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy

31 Key points: Thorough H&P Broad differential list Don t miss these scary, subtle EKG findings: EKG finding Short PR or Delta wave QTc >480 msec LVH with deep Q-waves in lateral leads TWI V1-3 and epsilon waves Possible cause WPW Long QT syndrome HCM ARVC RBBB pattern with ST-elevation in leads V1-V3 Brugada
