    GlossaryTachycardia (Increased Heart Rate)

    condition where heart beats faster than 100 bpm

    Tachycardia, also known as a rapid heart rate, is a condition where the heart beats faster than normal, typically over 100 beats per minute in adults. This can be caused by various factors, including stress, anxiety, fever, exercise, or underlying medical conditions such as heart disease or hyperthyroidism. While it can be a normal response to certain situations, persistent or severe tachycardia may require medical evaluation and treatment to prevent complications like heart failure or stroke.
