Tachycardia
General
Tachycardia is a pathology that is characterized by an increase in the patient's heart rate, without any stress or load.
This condition is not an independent disease, but rather a symptom that signals another disease. Often Tachycardia occurs with VSD , as a result of a violation of the autonomic nervous system. It is also not uncommon for this symptom to be observed in different types of arrhythmias .
This pathological condition entails very unpleasant consequences, the essence of which is that with a high heart rate, our motor loses its efficiency, simply not having time to fill up before contraction. As a result, the blood supply to the internal organs, including the heart itself, is disrupted, then their oxygen starvation begins.
Also, Tachycardia carries with it such unpleasant currents as an increased risk of coronary disease , and as a result, myocardial infarction .
Kinds
This symptom is usually classified into several types, such as:
- sinus
- Paroxysmal
- Ventricular fibrillation
And in turn, each of these classes has its own subspecies.
You will learn more about this pathology, the causes of its onset, its types and methods of treatment from this section.
