Studies show that hypertension intricately influences “heart rate” and “contractility,?” the key components of “palpitation.” While the prevalence of hypertension is 22.4% in 18–39‐year‐olds, the relationship between palpitations and hypertension remains unknown in this age group. In our study, we assessed the incidence and prevalence of hypertension over 5 years in 18–40‐year‐olds referred for palpitations who had no known arrhythmic cause for palpitations between January 1, 206 and December 31, 2017. We found that over a period of 2.2 (0.7–4.1) years, an additional 56% patients were diagnosed with stage 1 (65/130) and stage 2 (28/130) hypertension, increasing the prevalence from 16% at the start of the study period to 72% at the end of the study period (p < .0001). Hypertensive patients were obese (BMI: 29 [24–36] kg/m2 vs. 25 [22–31] kg/m2; p = .03), used nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (62 vs. 35%; p = .04), had a stronger family history of hypertension (55 vs. 4%; p < .0001) and exhibited higher systolic (124[120–130] mmHg vs. 112[108–115] mmHg; p < .0001) and diastolic (80[76–83] mmHg vs. 72[69–75] mmHg; p < .0001) blood pressures. Hypertension is commonly diagnosed in 18–40‐year‐old predominantly white female patients referred for palpitations without a known arrhythmic cause. The possibility of untreated hypertension causing palpitations in this cohort needs further evaluation. 10.1111/jch.14813 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ |
