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

Approach to Pediatric Tachycardia General Presentation. Tachycardia is an abnormally rapid heart rate. In adults, this is usually defined as >100 beats per minute (bpm). In pediatrics, the normal heart rate varies with age (see Table 1). Therefore, in children, the definition of tachycardia is age dependent.

- A normal heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute. Tachycardia is considered a heart rate of greater than 100 beats per minute. If you are exercising, or performing any kind of activity, your heart will normally beat faster.

Arrhythmia An arrhythmia is a change in the rhythm of your heartbeat. When the heart beats too fast, it's called tachycardia. When it beats too slow, it's called bradycardia. An arrhythmia can also mean that your heart beats irregularly (skips a beat or has an extra beat).

Overview Tachycardia is caused by something that disrupts the normal electrical impulses that control the rate of your heart's pumping action. Many things can cause or contribute to problems with the heart's electrical system. These factors include: 1  Damage to heart tissues from heart disease.

Atrial Fibrillation: Diagnosis and Treatment A fast heart rate is called tachycardia. The definition of too fast usually depends on the person's age and physical activity. A newborn has tachycardia if the resting rate is more than 160 beats per minute. A teenager is considered to have tachycardia if the resting heart rate is more than 90 beats per minute. A teenager may have a normal heart rate of up to 200 beats per minute during exercise.

- A normal heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute. Tachycardia is considered a heart rate of greater than 100 beats per minute. If you are exercising, or performing any kind of activity, your heart will normally beat faster. This allows your heart to pump blood through out your body, to provide oxygen to the tissues.

Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT, PSVT Symptoms, Causes, and Treatments) What is Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT, PSVT Definitions)? Supraventricular tachycardia is a rapid heart rate (tachycardia, or a heart rate above 100 beats per minute) that is caused by electrical impulses that originate above the heart's ventricles.

ICD-10 Diagnosis Code I49.1 An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. It means that your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern. When the heart beats faster than normal, it is called tachycardia. When the heart beats too slowly, it is called bradycardia.

ventricular tachycardia Ventricular tachycardia (V-tach) is a rapid heart beat that originates in one of the lower chambers (the ventricles) of the heart. To be classified as tachycardia, the heart rate is usually at least 100 beats per minute. A rapid heart rate can originate in either the left or right ventricle.

Top 30 Doctor insights on: Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia And Exercise Fast heart rate: Tachycardia means fast heart beat. Sinus node is the structure where normally heart rhythm and beat is originated, and it naturally responds to stimuli when the heart needs to beat faster. Inappropriate sinus tachycardia is when the heart is beating fast, when it shouldn't. ...Read more.
