What effect does atropine have on heart rate?
Ventricular fibrillation, and supraventricular or ventricular tachycardia.
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 part of the heart causes ventricular tachycardia?

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.
Which term describes a rapid heart beat that begins with ventricles?
The condition of irregular quivering of the atria and rapid ventricular heartbeat is atrial fibrillation, or a-fib. While serious, a-fib is not immediately life threatening.
