AI Article Synopsis

  • Speech-induced atrial tachycardias are rare but can cause serious health issues, primarily affecting otherwise healthy people.
  • The exact mechanisms, treatment options, and outcomes of these tachycardias are not well understood.
  • The review aims to explore the links between speech and heart rhythm disturbances, offering insights for diagnosis and management.

Article Abstract

Despite being uncommon, speech-induced atrial tachycardias carry significant morbidity and affect predominantly healthy individuals. Little is known about their mechanism, treatment, and prognosis. In this review, we seek to identify the underlying connections and pathophysiology between speech and arrhythmias while providing an informed approach to evaluation and management.
