Description

Code list aiming to identify individuals consulting complaining of palpitations.

Methodology

Identified from intial search terms outside of OpenCodelists: "palpitat" "irregular heart" "heart irreg" " "flutter" "dropped beat" "heart pound" "pounding heart" "heart bump" "fibrillat" "awareness of heart" "aware of heart" "a-fib" " af "

Clearly irrelevant codes excluded (with review by a second clinician)

Candidate codelist uploaded to OpenCodelists for review of candidate codes.

Codelists are developed by a broad community of users for individual study purposes, which may or may not meet the needs of other studies. They should not be thought of as universal definitions of a particular condition.

We don't offer any guarantees about what they do or don't identify. Users should carefully check that any codelist meets their needs, and seek clinical input where appropriate.
