  2. Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachycardia-induced_cardio...

    [1] [5] [6] Treatment of TIC can involve treating the heart failure as well as the tachycardia or arrhythmia. [1] TIC has a good prognosis with treatment, with most people recovering some to all of their heart function. [1] The number of cases that occur is unclear. [5] TIC has been reported in all age groups. [6]

  3. Sinus tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinus_tachycardia

    Treatment for physiologic sinus tachycardia involves treating the underlying causes of the tachycardia response. Beta blockers may be used to decrease tachycardia in patients with certain conditions, such as ischemic heart disease and rate-related angina. In patients with inappropriate sinus tachycardia, careful titration of beta-blockers, salt ...

  4. Inappropriate sinus tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Inappropriate_sinus_tachycardia

    Inappropriate sinus tachycardia, defined as 24-hour average HR > 90 bpm and HR > 100 bpm in a supine or sitting position, has a prevalence of 1.16% in the general population. [20] The epidemiology of Inappropriate sinus tachycardia is not well understood. IST can occur at any age, but it is most common in adolescents and young adults. [2]

  5. Tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tachycardia

    Tachycardia, also called tachyarrhythmia, is a heart rate that exceeds the normal resting rate. [1] In general, a resting heart rate over 100 beats per minute is accepted as tachycardia in adults. [1] Heart rates above the resting rate may be normal (such as with exercise) or abnormal (such as with electrical problems within the heart).

  6. Automatic tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_tachycardia

    An automatic tachycardia is a cardiac arrhythmia which involves an area of the heart generating an abnormally fast rhythm, sometimes also called enhanced automaticity.These tachycardias, or fast heart rhythms, differ from reentrant tachycardias (AVRT and AVNRT) in which there is an abnormal electrical pathway which gives rise to the pathology.

  7. Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paroxysmal_supra...

    Otherwise synchronized cardioversion is the treatment. [4] Future episodes can be prevented by catheter ablation. [3] About 2.3 per 1000 people have paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. [5] Problems typically begin in those 12 to 45 years old. [3] [5] Women are more often affected than men. [3]

  8. Cardioversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardioversion

    Cardioversion is a medical procedure by which an abnormally fast heart rate (tachycardia) or other cardiac arrhythmia is converted to a normal rhythm using electricity or drugs. Synchronized electrical cardioversion uses a therapeutic dose of electric current to the heart at a specific moment in the cardiac cycle , restoring the activity of the ...

  9. Precordial thump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precordial_thump

    Precordial thump is a medical procedure used in the treatment of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia under certain conditions. The procedure has a very low success rate, but may be used in those with witnessed, monitored onset of one of the "shockable" cardiac rhythms if a defibrillator is not immediately available.
