A Rare Case of a Panic Attack Inducing a Junctional Escape Rhythm on ECG

We present a unique and rare case of a young female patient who presented with complaints typical of her prior panic attacks and was found to have a junctional escape rhythm on ECG. Upon resolution of her symptoms, a repeat ECG demonstrated a return to normal sinus rhythm. Given that alternative eti...

description We present a unique and rare case of a young female patient who presented with complaints typical of her prior panic attacks and was found to have a junctional escape rhythm on ECG. Upon resolution of her symptoms, a repeat ECG demonstrated a return to normal sinus rhythm. Given that alternative etiologies had been ruled out, it was postulated that her panic attack induced a transient junctional escape rhythm.
