Twelve patients with panic disorder and 11 control subjects received 24-hour ambulatory monitoring of heart rate, finger temperature, ambient temperature, and self-rated anxiety. No differences were found between groups in tonic levels of any measure or in their patterns of variation throughout the day. However, substantial heart rate increases and finger temperature changes did occur in panic attacks but not during control periods having equally high anxiety ratings. These measures may be useful in the diagnosis of panic disorder and in the assessment of treatment outcome.
12名恐慌症患者和11名对照受试者接受了为期24小时的心率、手指温度、环境温度和自评焦虑的动态监测。在任何测量指标的静息水平或全天变化模式上，两组之间均未发现差异。然而，恐慌发作时确实出现了显著的心率增加和手指温度变化，而在焦虑评分同样高的对照期则未出现。这些测量指标可能有助于恐慌症的诊断和治疗效果评估。
