| double tachycardia | The simultaneous tachycardia of two ectopic pacemakers, e.g., atrial and junctional tachycardia. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| orthostatic tachycardia | Increased heart rate on assuming the erect posture. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tachycardia | <clinical sign> The excessive rapidity in the action of the heart, the term is usually applied to a heart rate above 100 per minute and may be qualified as atrial, junctional (nodal) or ventricular and as paroxysmal. Origin: Gr. Kardia = heart (18 Nov 1997) |
| tachycardia, atrioventricular nodal reentry | A tachycardia characterised by rates between 150 and 250 beats per minute and a qrs complex of supraventricular origin. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome | <syndrome> A disorder consisting of abnormalities of supraventricular impulse generation and conduction which produce a wide variety of intermittent rapid and slow supraventricular arrhythmias. Common symptoms include palpitations, faintness and fainting. Diagnosis is generally by 24 hour cardiac monitoring. A permanent pacemaker is indicated for those who are unresponsive to drug therapy. (27 Sep 1997) |
| tachycardia, ectopic atrial | A tachycardia originating in the atrial myocardium and characterised by rates between 135 and 175 beats per minute. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tachycardia, ectopic junctional | A tachycardia arising in the conduction tissues surrounding the atrioventricular node. It usually occurs during myocardial infarction, after heart surgery, or in digitalis intoxication. The rate may range from 140 to 250 beats per minute. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tachycardia en salves | Short runs of paroxysmal tachycardia of the Gallavardin type. Compare: Gallavardin's phenomenon. Origin: Fr. Tachycardia in salvos (05 Mar 2000) |
| tachycardia exophthalmica | Rapid heart action occurring as one of the symptoms of exophthalmic goiter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tachycardia, paroxysmal | Condition marked by attacks of rapid action of the heart having sudden onset and cessation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tachycardia, paroxysmal atrial | Bouts of rapid, regular heart beating originating in the atrium (upper chamber of the heart). Often due to abnormalities in the av node relay station that lead to rapid firing of electrical impulses from the atrium which bypass the av node under certain conditions. These conditions include alcohol excess, stress, caffeine, overactive thyroid or excessive thyroid hormone intake, and certain drugs. Pat is an example of an arrhythmia where the abnormality is in the electrical system of the heart, while the heart muscle and valves may be normal. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tachycardia, sinoatrial nodal reentry | A tachycardia arising from the sinus node region and characterised by rates between 115 and 140 beats per minute. It is paroxysmal rather than constant. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tachycardia, sinus | Fast heartbeat (tachycardia) occurring because of rapid firing by the sa node, the natural pacemaker of the heart. Electrical signals initiated in the sa node are transmitted to the atria and the ventricles to stimulate heart muscle contractions heartbeats. Sinus tachycardia is usually a rapid contraction of a normal heart in response to a condition, drug, or disease. For examples, pain, fever, excessive thyroid hormone, exertion, excitement, low blood oxygen level (hypoxia), or stimulant drugs such as caffeine, cocaine, and amphetamines can cause tachycardia. However, in some cases, it can be a sign of heart failure or heart valve disease or other illness. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tachycardia, supraventricular | A generic expression for any tachycardia that originates above the bundle of his. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tachycardia window | In paroxysmal tachycardia of the reentry type, the interval of time (the window) between the earliest and latest premature activation that can excite the paroxysm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ventricular tachycardia |
Abnormal heart beat in the lower chambers of the heart, usually to a rate of 150-200 beats per minute; may result in fainting, low blood pressure, shock, or even sudden death; common and often lethal complication of heart attack.

| ventricular tachycardia |
(VT): a fast heartbeat caused by abnormal impulses coming from a single area of the ventricle. The rapid rate of 120-250 beats per minute may produce dizziness, weakness, blind spots and, eventually, unconsciousness.

| ventricular tachycardia |
An abnormal heart rhythm (or arrhythmia) characterized by three or more beats of ventricular origin in succession at a rate of more than 100 beats per minute. Ventricular tachycardia may be well tolerated or life-threatening (pulseless).

| ventricular tachycardia |
Abnormally fast heart beat from rapid contraction of the lower chambers of the heart during which patients may feel faint or dizzy or even collapse. It can be life-threatening if not properly treated.

|
| ventricular tachycardia |
An abnormally fast heart rate in the lower heart chambers (ventricles) when a person is at rest. This rapid heart rate can cause a person to become dizzy, feel light-headed, and faint.
