Tachyarrhythmia originating either from the atria or the atrioventricular node.
A disorder characterized by a dysrhythmia with abrupt onset and sudden termination of atrial contractions with a rate of 150-250 beats per minute. The rhythm disturbance originates in the atria.
Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a faster heart rate in the atria, caused by electrical impulses in the atria firing abnormally. Supraventricular tachycardia includes atrial tachycardia, atrioventricular tachycardia, atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia, junctional tachycardia, and nodal tachycardia.
Re-entry ventricular tachycardia occurs due to electrical difficulties in the heart.
Tachycardia typically means a heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute. Symptoms of tachycardia include dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, and more.
SVT is the most common type of arrhythmia in children. Example: An 8-year-old boy is brought in by his parents with complaints of chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue for one month. Upon examination his heart rate was 160 BPM. Labs and ECG are performed and he is diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia.
Ventricular tachycardia (Vtach) occurs when there is a fast heart rate in the ventricles, which can be life threatening and cause cardiac arrest. Example: The cardiologist is called to the emergency department. A 60-year-old male, was rushed to the ED after a skydive jump.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM P29.11 became effective on October 1, 2021.

it is characterized by sudden onset and offset episodes of tachycardia with a heart rate of 100 150 beats per minute. the p wave is identical to the sinus p wave but with a longer pr interval.
TACHYCARDIA-. abnormally rapid heartbeat usually with a heart rate above 100 beats per minute for adults. tachycardia accompanied by disturbance in the cardiac depolarization cardiac arrhythmia is called tachyarrhythmia.
TACHYCARDIA RECIPROCATING-. abnormally rapid heartbeats caused by reentrant conduction over the accessory pathways between the heart atria and the heart ventricles. the impulse can also travel in the reverse direction as in some cases atrial impulses travel to the ventricles over the accessory pathways and back to the atria over the bundle of his and the atrioventricular node.
TACHYCARDIA ECTOPIC JUNCTIONAL-. a rare form of supraventricular tachycardia caused by automatic not reentrant conduction initiated from sites at the atrioventricular junction but not the atrioventricular node. it usually occurs during myocardial infarction after heart surgery or in digitalis intoxication with a heart rate ranging from 140 to 250 beats per minute.
POSTURAL ORTHOSTATIC TACHYCARDIA SYNDROME-. a syndrome of orthostatic intolerance combined with excessive upright tachycardia and usually without associated orthostatic hypotension. all variants have in common an excessively reduced venous return to the heart central hypovolemia while upright.
TACHYCARDIA SUPRAVENTRICULAR-. a generic expression for any tachycardia that originates above the bundle of his.
Also called: Irregular heartbeat. An arrhythmia is a problem with the rate or rhythm of your heartbeat. It means that your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with an irregular pattern. When the heart beats faster than normal, it is called tachycardia. When the heart beats too slowly, it is called bradycardia.
