In a study of 62 coronary care patients, 31 of whom exhibited types of cardiac arrhythmia, the frequency of ectopic beats changed significantly when a nurse palpated the pulse. This finding suggests that autonomic responses to human contact can significantly alter the rate of ectopic impulse generation. These findings further suggest that studies of cardiac arrhythmia should attend to the nature of the social field in which data are collected.
在一项针对62名冠心病护理患者的研究中，其中31人表现出心律失常类型，当护士触诊脉搏时，异位搏动的频率发生了显著变化。这一发现表明，对人际接触的自主反应可显著改变异位冲动的产生速率。这些发现进一步表明，心律失常的研究应关注收集数据时的社会环境性质。
