Edited by Guy Slowik MD FRCS. Last updated on July 1st 2011

Here are some reliable sources that can provide more information on palpitations.

  • Mitral valve prolapse, a deformity of one of the heart's four valves, is another heart-related cause of palpitations. If your palpitations are due to mitral valve prolapse (MVP), you may want to visit the MVPS Research and Support Web site at http://www.mvpsupport.com, for more information as well as stories from people with this condition.
  • An article that summarizes the facts about palpitations is available from MedicineNet.com at this address:http://www.focusonheart.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=437.
  • An article entitled "How Pacemakers Work and Why They're Needed," published by the Cardiovascular Institute of the South, provides a good basic overview. It can be found at http://www.icorp.net/cardio/articles/pacemakr.htm.
