How Are Palpitations Diagnosed in Cancer Patients?
To diagnose the cause of palpitations, healthcare providers often start with a detailed medical history and physical examination. They may also order diagnostic tests such as an electrocardiogram (ECG), which records the heart’s electrical activity, or a Holter monitor, which provides continuous ECG monitoring over 24-48 hours. Blood tests may also be conducted to check for anemia, electrolyte imbalances, and other potential causes.
