Describes a heart that is beating too fast.
The heart beating quickly. An adult heart is usually considered tachycardic with a resting rate of more than one hundred beats per minute.
An abnormally fast heart rhythm, or tachycardia can prove dangerous because the racing interferes with the heart's ability to contract properly. As a result, a victim may suffer a range of symptoms, from lightheadedness to sudden cardiac arrest.

A rapid heart rate, which can be an indicator of certain congenital heart defects. Other signs of heart problems include feeding difficulties, poor growth rate, and recurrent respiratory infections.
The term used to describe a rapid heartbeat of greater than 100 beats per minute.
An excessively fast heartbeat.
a rapid heart rate (over 100 beats per minute)
Excessively rapid heartbeat
A rapid heartbeat. (Read about " Arrhythmia")
excessive rapidity in the action of the heart; the term is usually applied to a heart rate above 100 beats per minute in an adult.
too fast heart beat rate, usually more than 100
An exceptionally fast heart rate.
More that 120 heartbeats a minute.
fast regular heartbeat greater than 100 beats per minute.
Rapid heartbeat, with or without arrhythmia and chest pain.
Rapid heart rate, usually defined as in excess of 100BPM.
rapid heart rate, usually defined by a pulse rate of over 100 beats per minute (bpm).
A category of heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias) characterized by an abnormally rapid or irregular heart rhythm. Known causes of tachyarrhythmias include coronary artery disease, heart attack and heart muscle disease.
Abnormally increased heartbeat
Rapid heart rate, usually considered tachycardia if over 100 bpm.
a fast heart rate which can be caused by an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pleural space known as “pleural effusion
Abnormally fast heartbeat AN bradycardia
Tachycardia is the rapid beating of the heart, usually applied to rates over 100 beats per minute.
fast heart rate, usually over 100 beats per minute.
Rapid heart rate. Opposite of bradycardia.
Accelerated beating of the heart. Paroxysmal tachycardia is a particular form of rapid heart action, occurring in seizures that may last from a few seconds to several days.
Abnormal rapidity of heart action, usually defined as a heart rate over 100 per minute.
an abnormally fast heart rate. In an infant, above 180 beats per minute.
A faster than normal heart rate. There are many causes of tachycardia. Sometimes tachycardia is normal and other times it is abnormal and requires treatment
Rapid beating of the heart, usually defined as greater than 100 beats per minute.
This means a very fast heart rate.
An abnormally fast heartbeat, usually more than 100 beats per minute.
A heart rate that is faster than normal
An increase in heart rate. In adults, tachycardia is defined as anything over 100 beats per minute, while fetal tachycardia is defined as a HR of 160 bpm or more.
Any cardiac arrhythmia characterized by a rapid rate, usually over 100 beats per minute. Tachycardias may be normal, as in the case of a sinus tachycardia induced by exercise, or may indicate a pathology.
Extremely fast heartbeat.
An increase in the heart rate above normal.
Excessively rapid heart rate.

An abnormal increase in heart rate above an age-specified rate
Increase in heart rate. Compare bradycardia.
exceptionally fast pulse (more than 100 beats a minute).
An abnormally rapid heartbeat.
An increased heart rate. Adults would be 100 beats/minute
Tachycardia refers to a rapid beating of the heart. By convention the term refers to heart rates greater than 100 beats per minute in the adult patient. Tachycardia may be a perfectly normal physiological response to stress.
