SummaryThe purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of sleep panic to major depression in patients with panic disorder. We found that the patients with sleep panic had a higher prevalence of major depression than subjects of other panic disorders.

The Relationship

Of 20 patients attending a clinic for maintenance therapy of schizophrenia, seven had regular panic attacks, and these were often associated with agoraphobia and social phobia. Similar fears and avoidance in other cases were associated with paranoid ideas and negative symptoms. The relationship of panic to psychotic symptoms varied greatly. In two patients neuroleptics were associated with an increase in panic attacks.

The Relationship

Physicians who encounter patients in the emergency department with chest pain, palpitations, or shortness of breath may often find it difficult to differentiate diagnosis of panic attacks from acute coronary syndrome or Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy. Redefining and understanding the pathophysiological relationship of psychiatric illness including anxiety, depression, or panic attacks and Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy may help clinicians implement a more effective and beneficial model of care for this affliction that is being found to be increasingly more common in today’s age.

The Relationship

Background and Objectives: The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is involved in panic disorders. ANS dysfunction has been shown to be associated with ventricular arrhythmia and increased heterogeneity of ventricular repolarization. However, there remains limited evidence of the relationship between panic disorders and ventricular depolarization markers, including the Tp-e interval and Tp-e/QT ratio. This study aimed to evaluate ventricular repolarization parameters in patients with panic disorder. Materials and Methods: In total, 40 patients with panic disorder, diagnosed using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) criteria, were included in the study group. The control group comprised of 50 age- and sex-matched healthy individuals. A standard 12 lead electrocardiogram was recorded on all participants, and heart rate, QT interval, QRS duration, Tp-e interval, and Tp-e/QT ratio were measured. Results: QRS durations and QT intervals were similar in the study and control groups. Compared to the control group, QTd, Tp-e, and cTp-e intervals as well as Tp-e/QT and Tp-e/QTc ratios were significantly increased in patients with panic disorder (p < 0.05 for all). In the study group, the Severity Measure for Panic Disorder—Adult score had a significant positive correlation with the Tp-e interval (r = 0.369, p < 0001), cTp-e interval (r = 0.531, p < 0.001), Tp-e/QT ratio (r = 0.358, p = 0.001), and Tp-e/QTc ratio (r = 0.351, p = 0.001). Conclusion: These findings indicate that panic disorders are associated with increased ventricular repolarization heterogeneity, which may be attributed to ANS dysregulation.

The aim of this study was to examine clinicodynamical characteristics of clinical course of alcohol addiction and panic disorders. Patients (n = 214) with comorbidity of alcoholism and panic disorder were included in this study.Defined and described were 4 clinical variants of associated course of these diseases that differ in formation order, cause-effect relations between alcohol abuse and panic disorder, clinical features and course of alcoholism and panic attacks, further development of double pathology.The first group included patients with full abstinence from alcohol for no less than one year by reason of panic attacks during alcohol withdrawal syndrome. The second group consisted of patients whose panic attacks were followed by ingesting considerable doses of alcohol in order to release anxiety, which resulted in the bout of heavy drinking. Episodic paroxysmal alcohol ingestion was typical in patients from the third group. Ingestion of considerable doses of alcohol leaded to panic attacks, the following abstinence from alcohol (6 months in average) was based on fear of reiteration of panic disorder. The forth group included patients with panic attacks during clinical remission of alcohol addiction who used alcohol to ease the panic symptoms. This resulted in the heavy alcoholism recurrence.The results of the study can serve as a basis for working out programs of differential therapy for above-mentioned patients.The study is supported by the President's Grant Mκ-2670.2008.7.
