Also Known As: Tachycardia, Fast heart rate, Rapid heart rate, Fast heart beat, rapid heart beat, Rapid pulse, Fast pulse
Tachycardia comes from the Greek words tachys (rapid or accelerated) and kardia (of the heart). Tachycardia typically refers to a heart rate that exceeds the normal range for a resting heart rate (heart rate in an inactive or sleeping individual). It can be dangerous depending on the speed and type of rhythm.
