Tachycardia is an excessive heart rate, more than 100 beats/minute.
Tachycardia itself is typically not a direct cause of a heart attack. However, sustained and untreated tachycardia can lead to other serious heart problems over time, which may increase the risk of a heart attack. It is important to address the underlying cause of tachycardia to prevent potential complications.
Atrial fibrillation is an irregular and often rapid heart rate that originates in the upper chambers of the heart, while sinus tachycardia is a regular but fast heart rate that starts in the sinus node. Atrial fibrillation can lead to blood clots and other complications, while sinus tachycardia is usually a normal response to stress or exercise.
Yes, adenosine can slow sinus tachycardia by blocking AV nodal conduction. It works by activating adenosine receptors in the heart, which leads to hyperpolarization of the cardiac cells and ultimately slowing down the heart rate.
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a heart rhythm disorder characterized by episodes of abnormally fast heart rate originating above the heart's ventricles. This can lead to symptoms like palpitations, dizziness, chest pain, and shortness of breath. Treatment options include medications, vagal maneuvers, and procedures like ablation in some cases.
The American Heart Association (AHA) uses the term cardiovascular disease (CVD) to describe various diseases that affect the heart and circulatory system. These diseases include coronary artery (heart) disease, hypertension, congestive heart failure, congenital cardiovascular defects, and cerebro-vascular disease.
Paroxysmal atrial tachycardia is not a disease
symptom of heart disease
tachycardia
Yes, she has tachycardia (a Heart disease) it makes her heart go too fast and it bothers her, that's why sometimes she throws up at her concert
SVT = supraventricular tachycardia (an abnormally rapid heartbeat).
Most ventricular tachycardias are associated with serious heart disease such as coronary artery blockage, cardiomyopathy, or valvular heart disease.
Yes she does, she suffers from a mild heart condition causing tachycardia.
Multifocal atrial tachycardia is both congenital and acquired. It can exist in patients who are experiencing congenital heart disease and might also come after a surgery.
Tachycardia is a heart rate that exceeds the normal range. A heart rate over 100 beats per minute is generally accepted as tachycardia. Tachycardia can be caused by various factors which often are benign. However, tachycardia can be dangerous depending on the speed and type of rhythm.
It is called a Irregular heartbeat.
tachycardia
A supraventricular tachycardia is tachycardia (heart rate > 100) that originates above the AV node, in the atria. There are several different forms of supraventricular tachycardia, including sinus tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia, multifocal atrial tachycardia, and a nebulous condition called paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). Many people also consider junctional tachycardia a supraventricular tachycardia.
