| Popis: | We are reporting the venous CO2 (HCO2 and H 2CO3) levels and respiratory rates on a group of 64 panic disorder (PD) and panic disorder with agoraphobia (PDAG) patients, and 48 generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) patients. Our results indicate that panic disorder patients and those with panic disorder and agoraphobia (PD/PDAG) have higher mean rates of respiration and lower mean venous CO2 than patients with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), whereas these latter patients have higher mean respiratory rates and lower mean venous CO2 values than normal controls. The results of this study are discussed in regards the implication of these findings for the cognitive/hyperventilation theory of panic attacks. Recommendations for future studies are offered. |
