    Tachycardia, also called tachyarrhythmia, is a heart rate that exceeds the normal resting rate. [1] . In general, a resting heart rate over 100 beats per minute is accepted as tachycardia in adults. [1] . Heart rates above the resting rate may be normal (such as with exercise) or abnormal (such as with electrical problems within the heart).

  3. Tachycardia is the fast beating of the heart. In adults , it refers to heart rates higher than 100 beats per minute. Tachycardia may be a normal physiological response to stress , but depending on the cause and how healthy the patient is, tachycardia could be harmful and need medical treatment.

  4. Ventricular tachycardia can occur due to coronary heart disease, aortic stenosis, cardiomyopathy, electrolyte imbalance, or a heart attack. [2] [3] Diagnosis is by an electrocardiogram (ECG) showing a rate of greater than 120 beats per minute and at least three wide QRS complexes in a row. [2]

  5. Sinus tachycardia is a sinus rhythm of the heart, with an increased rate of electrical discharge from the sinoatrial node, resulting in a tachycardia, a heart rate that is higher than the upper limit of normal (90-100 beats per minute for adult humans). [1] The normal resting heart rate is 60–90 bpm in an average adult. [2] .

  7. Dec 15, 2023 · Tachycardia (tak-ih-KAHR-dee-uh) is the medical term for a heart rate over 100 beats a minute. Many types of irregular heart rhythms, called arrhythmias, can cause tachycardia. A fast heart rate isn't always a concern. For instance, the heart rate usually rises during exercise or as a response to stress.

  8. Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is an umbrella term for fast heart rhythms arising from the upper part of the heart. This is in contrast to the other group of fast heart rhythms – ventricular tachycardia , which start within the lower chambers of the heart . [2]
