Cause?: Depends entirely on the cause. High heart rate is your body's way of dealing with increased metabolic needs. Of course there are many diseases that also increase the heart rate. The list is very long and includes, fever, infection, anemia, thyroid excess, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmias and many more.
