Rapid heart beat: Vtach or "ventricular tachycardia" refers to the rapid contraction of the ventricles in the heart. It will be at least 100 beats/min or greater. It can be a serious problem when the heart beats so fast that it cannot supply enough blood and oxygen to the brain and vital organs.

Fast heart beat: Vtach or ventricular tachycardia is when the ventricles of the heart contract very rapidly. Usually this is due to an abnormal electrical signal in the heart causing the fast rate.
