tachycardia comes from the Greek words tachys and kardia (of the heart). Tachycardia typically refers to a heart rate that exceeds the normal range for a resting heartrate . In humans, this rate is usually based upon age,...

Tachycardia, Atrioventricular Nodal Reentry
Medical Dictionary
Definition of medical terminology for Tachycardia, Atrioventricular Nodal Reentry.
Tachycardiac
Relating to or suffering from excessively rapid action of the heart. Tachycardiac comes from Greek word "tachys" meaning "quick," and the Greek word "kardia" meaning "heart." Put the words together and you have "quick heart." ...
Sinus tachycardia
Sinus tachycardia is the most common regular SVT. It has an accelerated sinus rate that is a physiologic response to a stressor.
Sinus tachycardia
Sinus tachycardia is a condition that occurs when the sinus rhythm of the heart beats over 100 beats per minutes. This heart condition is commonly found with myocardial infarction.
Sinus tachycardia: A fast heartbeat (tachycardia) because of rapid firing of the sinoatrial (sinus) node.
Atrial tachycardia
Atrial tachycardia is a less common type of SVT. It arises from a small area of tissue, anywhere in the atria of the heart. This area starts to fire and drive the heart, more rapidly than the heart's natural pacemaker.
ectopic tachycardia
Type: Term
Definitions:
1. a tachycardia originating in a focus other than the sinus node, atrial, AV junctional, or ventricular tachycardia.
Tachycardias that start in the upper chambers of the heart are also common forms. These include atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter/tachycardia, and supraventricular tachycardia.
Tachycardia means a fast heart rate. The normal adult heart rate, or pulse, ranges from about 50 to 100 beats per minute. A heart rate that stays above 100 beats per minute is called tachycardia.
How does it occur?
Tachycardia means a rapid heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute. Ventricular means that the problem starts in the lower chambers of the heart (the ventricles).
Tachycardias are rhythm disorders in which the heart beats faster than normal.
Supraventricular means "above the ventricles," in other words, originating from the atria, the upper chambers of the heart.
Ventricular tachycardia
Enlarge
Ventricular tachycardia is a condition in which the heart beats faster than 100 beats per minute at rest.
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is a rapid heartbeat that starts in the ventricles.
Alternative Names
Wide-complex tachycardia; V tach; Tachycardia - ventricular ...
Ventricular tachycardia is a fast heart rhythm that starts in the lower part of the heart (ventricles). If left untreated, some forms of ventricular tachycardia may get worse and lead to ventricular fibrillation, which can be life-threatening.
Ventricular tachycardia (V-tach) is a rapid heart beat that originates in one of the lower chambers (the ventricles) of the heart. To be classified as tachycardia, the heart rate is usually at least 100 beats per minute.
Description ...
Symptoms of tachycardia can include dizziness and fainting due to the interruption of blood flow to the brain. Tachycardia can be caused by many factors, including exercise or overexertion.
Ventricular tachycardia is ≥ 3 consecutive ventricular beats at a rate ≥ 120 beats/min. Symptoms depend on duration and vary from none to palpitations to hemodynamic collapse and death. Diagnosis is by ECG.

'Supraventricular' means that the problem occurs in the upper chambers (atria) of the heart.

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) can be initiated in the SA node; in the atria or the atrial conduction pathways; or in the AV node. It occurs most often in young people and infants.
Tachycardia - this is when the heart beats quickly. Most episodes of tachycardia are experienced in the upper chambers of the heart, or atria. Those that occur in the lower chambers, or ventricles, are more serious.
Tachycardia

Tachypnea
Telemetry unit
A small transmitter with wires that attach ECG patches to the chest that is used to send information about the heart via radio transmission to healthcare professionals for evaluation.
Tachycardia: A fast heart rhythm with a rate of more than 100 beats per minute.
Bradycardia: A slow heart rhythm with a rate below 60 beats per minute.
Tachycardia - A fast heartbeat (greater than 100 beats a minute)
Bradycardia - A slow heartbeat (less than 60 beats a minute)

Tachycardias
Tachycardias are arrhythmias that involve abnormally rapid heartbeat. They fall into two major categories — supraventricular and ventricular: ...
tachycardia - occurs when the heart beats too fast
heart block - occurs when the electrical signal is delayed or blocked after leaving the SA node. There are several types of heart blocks, and each one has a distinctive ECG tracing.
Tachycardia (tak-ih-KAHR-de-uh). This refers to a fast heartbeat — a heart rate greater than 100 beats a minute.
Bradycardia (brad-e-KAHR-de-uh). This refers to a slow heartbeat — a resting heart rate less than 60 beats a minute.

Ventricular tachycardia is a rapid resting heart rate initiated within the ventricles, typically at 160 - 240 beats per minute (normal resting rate is 60 - 100 beats per minute).
Ventricular tachycardia (VT) - This is an abnormal heart rhythm that begins in either the right or left ventricle. It may last for a few seconds (non-sustained VT) or for many minutes or even hours (sustained VT).
Ventricular tachycardia: Fast and usually regular impulses come from the ventricles and cause a very rapid heart rate. This is usually a life-threatening tachycardia and needs immediate medical attention, possibly electrical shock or defibrillation.
Ventricular tachycardia is a fast, regular beating of the ventricles that may last for only a few seconds or for much longer.
