Can a 48 hour heart monitor distinguish between anxiety caused regular palpitations and cardiac abnormality? how?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes it can: Anxiety can cause the heart to race, much like exercise. This can be distinguished using the heart monitor from other cardiac rhythm abnormalities (arrhythmias)
