Chapter 22, Problem 1DCR
It was the end of the semester, and Huang had begun to prepare for his final examinations. Unfortunately, he still had to work his full-time job. To find sufficient time to study, he stayed up late and drank large amounts of coffee to stay alert. One evening during a very late study session, Huang felt a pounding in his chest and thought he was having a heart attack. His roommate took Huang to the emergency room. After an examination and interview by the physician, Huang was told that he probably had a cardiac arrhythmia. What was the most probable cause of the arrhythmia?
