Sinus tachycardia is a type of arrhythmia that is caused by an abnormally fast heart rate. It can be identified on an ECG as a sinus rhythm with a heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute.
Tachycardia is usually benign and does not require treatment. However, in some cases, it can be a symptom of a more serious underlying condition, such as heart disease or an electrolyte imbalance. If you experience sinus tachycardia, you must see your doctor for further evaluation.
What should I know about sinus tachycardia ECG?
Tachycardia is the most common type of arrhythmia, and it occurs when the sinus node (the heart’s natural pacemaker) fires too fast. Tachycardia can be caused by many different things, including anxiety, exercise, fever, dehydration, and low blood pressure. While most causes of sinus tachycardia are benign and do not require treatment, there are some instances where sinus tachycardia can be a symptom of a more serious underlying condition.
If you experience tachycardia, you must see your doctor for further evaluation. Your doctor will likely perform a physical exam and order some tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) or echocardiogram, to rule out any underlying heart conditions. In most cases, sinus tachycardia is benign and does not require treatment. However, treatment will be necessary if your sinus tachycardia is caused by an underlying heart condition, such as heart disease or an electrolyte imbalance.
