tachycardia
Sign in to saveTachycardia, also called tachyarrhythmia, is a heart rate that exceeds the normal resting rate. In general, a resting heart rate over 100 beats per minute is accepted as tachycardia in adults. Heart rates above the resting rate may be normal (such as with exercise) or abnormal (such as with electrical problems within the heart).
AI overview
Tachycardia is when your heart beats faster than normal at rest, typically over 100 beats per minute in adults. While a faster heart rate during exercise is normal, tachycardia can sometimes signal an electrical problem in the heart that may need medical attention.
