Description
Roemheld syndrome (rs), is a complex of gastrocardiac symptoms first described by ludwig von roemheld (1871–1938). It is a syndrome where maladies in the gastrointestinal tract or abdomen are found to be associated with cardiac symptoms like arrhythmias and benign palpitations. There is rarely a traceable cardiac source to the symptoms which may lead to a lengthy period of misdiagnosis.
