Palpitations can be a challenging topic on the USMLE because the symptom alone is not enough. The NBME wants you to identify the underlying driver: electrical, endocrine, catecholamine-related, or structural.
In this short breakdown, we review:
WPW β short PR + delta wave
Hyperthyroidism β tremor + weight loss
Pheochromocytoma β headache + sweating + hypertension
Mitral valve prolapse β mid-systolic click
Hope this helps you review the key mechanisms you need to know for Step 1 and Step 2 CK.
