dc.description.abstractObjectives: To compare the quality of life and anxiety levels of the patients with normal and abnormal results detected during an electrophysiologic study (EPS) that was performed due to undocumented episodes of palpitations. Study design: The patients (n=128) with complaints of palpitations who underwent EPS because their arrhythmias could not be documented were included in the study. The quality of life and anxiety levels of patients with abnormal EPS results were compared to those with normal results using the 26-item short form of the World Health Organization quality of life scale and state-trait anxiety inventory. Results: SVT was found in 72 patients by diagnostic EPS. Quality of life scores were significantly poorer in the SVT group than those of the normal EPS group (p=0.0000.001). Likewise, the anxiety scores of the patients in the SVT group were higher than those of the group with normal EPS findings (p=0.000). Age, physical quality of life, psychological quality of life, state-and trait anxiety were found to be independent predictors of SVT in multivariate regression analysis. Conclusion: The level of anxiety was found to be higher and quality of life relatively lower in patients with palpitations due to SVT. In clinical practice during evaluation process of the patients with palpitations, it should be kept in mind that recognized psychiatric symptoms may be secondary to an underlying arrhythmia.en_US
