Automatic tachycardia

Automatic tachycardia is a type of tachycardia that originates from an automatic focus, rather than from the sinoatrial node, the natural pacemaker of the heart. This condition is characterized by a rapid heart rate, typically over 100 beats per minute.

Causes

Automatic tachycardia can be caused by a variety of factors, including heart disease, hypertension, thyroid disease, and certain medications. It can also be triggered by stress, anxiety, or exercise.

Symptoms

The symptoms of automatic tachycardia can vary depending on the individual and the underlying cause of the condition. Common symptoms include palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, and chest pain.

Diagnosis

The diagnosis of automatic tachycardia is typically made through a combination of a physical examination, a review of the patient's medical history, and various diagnostic tests. These tests may include an electrocardiogram (ECG), a Holter monitor, and an event monitor.

Treatment

The treatment of automatic tachycardia depends on the underlying cause of the condition. Treatment options may include medication, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, surgery.
