What does tachycardia cycle length mean?

Answer 1

Tachycardia cycle length refers to the duration of one complete heartbeat in a tachycardic state, where the heart rate exceeds the normal range (typically over 100 beats per minute). It is measured in milliseconds and indicates the time interval between consecutive heartbeats. A shorter cycle length suggests a faster heart rhythm, while a longer cycle length, even within a tachycardic range, may indicate variations in the underlying rhythm or condition. Understanding cycle length is important for diagnosing and managing different types of tachycardia.
