What is the physiology of ventricular tachycardia?
A rapid heart rate can originate in either the left or right ventricle. Ventricular tachycardia which lasts more than 30 seconds is referred to as sustained ventricular tachycardia
What is tachycardia heart disease?
Tachycardia is an excessive heart rate, more than 100 beats/minute.
What conditions require immediate cardioversion?
Ventricular tachycardia lasting more than 30 seconds and ventricular fibrillation require immediate cardioversion.
What happens if heart beat is more than 100 in a minute?
not sure of the spelling but i think it ventricular tachycardia
Tachycardia?
Tachycardia is a condition in which the heart beats at an abnormally fast rate of more than 100 beats per minute. This type of arrhythmia is caused by an abnormality in the heart's electrical system. Tachycardia can be treated surgically or with medication.Reviewed ByReview Date: 10/10/2008Larry A.

What sinus rhythm has a rate of more than 100 beats per minute?
That's normal for hedgehogs...
What is ventricular tachycardia?
As an individual having had SVT since birth I have grown to understand this as an inexplicable, rapid increase in heart rate. There are possible contributary factors such as high fat diet and alcohol but mine seems to be triggered posturally (when i bend over or jump). The heart will jump from resting to 200bpm in a blink of an eye and may last for anything from 5 seconds to 60 minutes (for me). Treatment can be digoxin which cures arhythmias. Other symptoms of SVT include palor, sweat, shortness of breath and dizzyness. Thought to be a chronic condition although having spoken to several doctors about it, there doesnt seem to be a definite answer as to why it happens.
What is tachycardia syndrome?
Tachycardia is a condition in which the heart beats faster than normal. It should be monitored closely by a qualified physician, preferrably a cardiologist.
What is the term for three or more premature ventricular complexes occurring in a row at a rate of more than 100 beats a minute?
that looks like 2 different things. 4 or more pvc's is considered "a run of vtach" the other part would depend on the rhythm before the vtach... ex. sinus tachycardia with a run of vtach
What two heart rhythms are considered lethal?
There are a variety of them. There's ventricular fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and of course "asystole". There are also other lethal dysrhythmias that can deteriorate into forms of the aforementioned rhythms like 3 AV Block, agonal, Accelerated IVR, etc. http://skillstat.com/Flash/ECGSim531.html check out this website and look at some of the rhythms. click play when it comes up.
What is bradiacardia?
Bradycardia is when the heart beats a little slower than normal, resulting in a low pulse rate. It is kind of the opposite of tachycardia, where the heartbeat and pulse are more rapid than "normal".
Is heart arrhythmia where your heart is fast?
Heart arrhythmias is an irregular heart beat. The condition tachycardia is when the heart beats more quickly than normal. Mayo Clinic offers information on this condition(http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/tachycardia/DS00929).
