Tachycardia means fast heart rate. Bradycardia means slow heart rate. However the rate may vary depending on the individual. Whilst a pulse rate of 35 may be a bradychardia in a normal individual, the rate may be common amongst marathon runners and the like. Equally 120 may be tachycardia for most of us but it is a normal rate for babies. Arrhythmia is a term used to describe any abnormal heart rate. A tachyarrhythmia is an abnormally fast heart rate that typically is not regular or predictable. Normal resting heart rate is said to be between 60 and 100 beats per minute. Therefore, a consistent heart rate of over 100 beats per minute would classify as a moderately high resting heart rate. Barring any structural heart disease or illness, a resting heart rate of over 100 beats per minute is generally not a concern.
