Abstract

Does cardiac arrhythmia affect interoception? Compared to healthy peers, teenage boys with paroxysmal tachycardia got significantly lower scores on the questionnaire MAIA scale: Noticing bodily sensations, Not distracting attention, Not worrying, and Emotional awareness. Girls with arrhythmia had a higher result than healthy girls on the Body Confidence scale.
