How Are Palpitations Diagnosed in a Toxicological Context?
Diagnosing palpitations involves a thorough medical history and physical examination. In a toxicological context, it is crucial to obtain a detailed history of any potential exposure to toxic substances. Diagnostic tests may include:
Electrocardiogram (ECG) to assess heart activity. Blood tests to detect the presence of toxins or drugs. Imaging studies like chest X-rays or echocardiograms. Toxicology screening to identify specific substances.
