Tachycardia (tak-ih-KAHR-dee-uh) is a
fast heart. The resting heart rate is greater
than 100 beats a minute.
Bradycardia (brad-e-KAHR-dee-uh) is a
slow heartbeat. The resting heart rate is
less than 60 beats a minute.

ACTIVITY
Fast heartbeat (tachycardia)
Types of tachycardias include:
Supraventricular
tachycardia. Supraventricular
tachycardia is a broad term that includes
arrhythmias that start above the lower
heart chambers (ventricles).
Supraventricular tachycardia causes
episodes of a pounding heartbeat
(palpitations) that begin and end abruptly.
Diabetes
Sleep apnea
Drug abuse
Genetics
Smoking
Chest pain
Shortness of breath
Anxiety
Fatigue
Lightheadedness or dizziness
Sweating
Not smoking
Electrocardiogram (ECG or
EKG). During an ECG, sensors
(electrodes) that can detect the electrical
activity of the heart are attached to the
chest and sometimes to the arms or legs.
An ECG measures the timing and
duration of each electrical phase in the
heartbeat.
Holter monitor. This
portable ECG device can be worn for a
day or more to record your heart's activity
as you go about your routine.
Event recorder. This
wearable ECG device is used to detect
sporadic arrhythmias. You press a button
when symptoms occur. An event recorder
may be worn for a longer period of time
(up to 30 days or until you have an
arrhythmia or typical symptoms).
Echocardiogram. In this noninvasive
test, a hand-held device (transducer)
placed on the chest uses sound waves to
produce images of the heart's size,
structure and motion.
