A 67-year-old female patient with a past medical history of menopause, migraines, and gastro-esophageal disease presented with palpitation, fatigue, and shortness of breath. One month prior to her presentation, she reported having flu-like symptoms. Her EKG showed sinus tachycardia with no other abnormality. Laboratory findings, along with imaging, showed normal results. The event monitor failed to detect any arrythmias. We report a case of inappropriate sinus tachycardia secondary to viral infection as a diagnosis of exclusion.
一名67岁女性患者,有绝经、偏头痛和胃食管疾病病史,出现心悸、疲劳和呼吸急促症状。在就诊前一个月,她报告有类似流感的症状。她的心电图显示窦性心动过速,无其他异常。实验室检查结果以及影像学检查结果均正常。事件监测仪未检测到任何心律失常。我们报告一例继发于病毒感染的不适当窦性心动过速病例,此为排除性诊断。
