Summary:Resting and pre-infusion heart rates recorded in 66 panic disorder patients revealed no significant differences between panickers and nonpanickers. There was also no significant difference in pre-fusion heart rates between either lactate or isoproterenol panickers and placebo nonpanickers. There was neither a sensitizing nor a desensitizing effect of laboratory-induced panic attacks on subsequent pre-infusion heart rates.
