| Popis: | In a prospective study, we have compared R-axis on routine electrocardiograms of panic disorder patients (n = 52) with that of depressed patients (n = 41) and normal controls (n = 65). All subjects were physically healthy and were normotensive. There was a significant leftward shift of R-axis in both depressed and panic disorder patients compared to normal controls. The implications of these findings are discussed. |
