What you'll learn in this expert session

Which patients complaining of palpitations have a significant underlying intermittent arrhythmia? Fortunately, not all of them. In fact, most of them don't. The real challenge lies in determining who requires further investigation, diagnosis, treatment, and how best to approach this. In this presentation, Cardiologist, Dr David O'Donnell provides a valuable and very practical approach to managing the patient with that very common symptom.
