Palpitations may be reported by patients as sensations of flipping, stopping, pounding, or fluttering of their heart. Abrupt onset and offset of rapid, sustained palpitations suggests supraventricular or ventricular tachycardia. If the sensation associated with the palpitations is accompanied by dizziness, presyncope, or syncope, then ventricular tachycardia needs to be excluded. | Cardiology Core Curriculum A problem-based approach Cardiology Core Curriculum A problem-based approach Edited by John D Rutherford Cardiologist Vice President of Clinical Operations Professor of Internal Medicine Gail Griffiths Hill Chair in Cardiology UT Southwestern Medical Center Dallas Texas USA BMT .
