Objective: Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) is a syndrome characterized by an elevated resting heart rate with distressing symptoms and no secondary cause of sinus tachycardia. This study was conducted to evaluate both the prevalence of IST among symptomatic patients and heart rate variability (HRV) characteristics. Methods: The records of all consecutive symptomatic patients who had undergone 24-hour Holter monitoring between September 2015 and November 2016 at a single center were retrospectively evaluated. IST was defined as a 24-hour mean heart rate (HR) of ≥90 beats/minute and a resting HR of ≥100 beats/minute in the absence of any secondary cause of sinus tachycardia. All of the study data related to clinical characteristics, symptoms, concomitant diseases, and Holter electrocardiogram parameters were obtained from the electronic hospital records. A propensity age- and sex-matched control group was selected from a non-IST patient cohort. Results: A total of 1865 consecutive patients were evaluated and 32% were excluded due to an inadequate Holter recording period or insufficient quality, atrial fibrillation episodes, atrioventricular block, or >1% atrial or ventricular extrasystoles. Among 1265 patients with sinus rhythm, 4.98% (n=63) had IST. The IST patients were younger (39.6+-17.4 vs. 50.2+-17.2 years; p |
