What are the examination methods for palpitations?

The main diagnostic methods for palpitations include the following: 1. Electrocardiogram (ECG): This is the most basic test, used to determine whether the heart's electrical activity is normal and whether there is any heart disease. 2. 24-hour ambulatory ECG monitoring: This records the heart's electrical activity over a 24-hour period and is particularly valuable in diagnosing palpitations. 3. Echocardiogram (cardiac ultrasound): This visualizes the heart structure and blood flow, and helps diagnose palpitations caused by structural heart disease. 4. Blood tests: These include complete blood count, thyroid function tests, and electrolyte measurements, which help identify infections, anemia, or issues affecting the heart muscle or thyroid gland. 5. Others: Additional tests such as cardiac stress tests and radionuclide studies may be selected based on the patient's specific condition and the physician's recommendations.
