The authors compared the maximal duration of voluntary breath-holding in patients with panic disorder (N = 23), patients with generalized social phobia (N = 10), and healthy subjects (N = 26). Patients with panic disorder had significantly shorter breath-holding durations than either comparison group. Groups did not otherwise differ in physiologic response to the breath-holding. Implications for a false suffocation alarm in panic disorder are discussed.
作者比较了恐慌症患者（N = 23）、广泛性社交恐惧症患者（N = 10）和健康受试者（N = 26）的最大自主屏气持续时间。恐慌症患者的屏气持续时间明显短于其他两个比较组。在屏气的生理反应方面，各组之间没有其他差异。文中讨论了恐慌症中虚假窒息警报的影响。
