To determine which symptoms characterized isoproterenol-induced panic attacks, we analyzed the presence of panic attacks in 54 panic disorder patients who panicked, 24 patients who did not panic, and 37 controls who did not panic during isoproterenol infusions. The increases over the baseline of the symptoms shortness of breath and fear of going crazy were highly associated with panicking patients when compared to nonpanicking patients and nonpanicking controls. The increases of the symptoms trembling and shaking, generally nervous, and fear of going crazy were highly associated with patients when compared to controls. The possibility of a cognitive theory of panic attacks is discussed.
为了确定异丙肾上腺素诱发惊恐发作的特征性症状，我们分析了54名在异丙肾上腺素输注期间出现惊恐发作的惊恐障碍患者、24名未出现惊恐发作的患者以及37名未出现惊恐发作的对照者中惊恐发作的情况。与未出现惊恐发作的患者和对照者相比，呼吸急促和害怕发疯这两种症状较基线水平的增加与出现惊恐发作的患者高度相关。与对照者相比，颤抖、全身紧张和害怕发疯这些症状的增加与患者高度相关。本文还讨论了惊恐发作认知理论的可能性。
