Skipped Beats

Heart palpitations occupy a peculiar space between alarming and hard to explain. For some people they are occasional and mild; for others they interrupt sleep, work, and the sense of being safe in one's own body. What they share is the uncertainty — and the fifty writers here speak to that directly.

Inside this volume

These accounts move through the experience of noticing something wrong, seeking answers through Holter monitoring and other cardiac investigations, receiving a range of diagnoses or none at all, and learning — sometimes with medication, sometimes with lifestyle change — to live with less fear. The range of outcomes is wide and honestly represented.

Who it's for

For anyone troubled by palpitations, those awaiting investigation results, and the family members who watch someone they love in distress and want to understand.
