2. Pathologic:
(1) Cardiovascular diseases: such as frequent premature beats, supraventricular tachycardia, atrial fibrillation and other tachyarrhythmias, the patient usually has a faster heart rate, which may be accompanied by a sense of panic; myocardial infarction, heart failure, myocarditis, etc. can also cause compensatory heart rate acceleration or myocardial injury induced arrhythmia.
(2) Other: such as hyperthyroidism, increased basal metabolic rate caused by accelerated heart rate, the patient may appear panic, irritability, hand tremor, etc.; fever, severe anemia will lead to compensatory accelerated heart rate.
