A member asked:

How can a doctor tell the difference between sinus tachycardia and inappropriate sinus tachycardia? whats the significant differences?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Inappropriate: When someone is sitting at relative rest as I am now and they have sinus tachycardia and don't have anemia or hyperthyroidism or other reason for that rapid heart rate, that is inappropriate sinus tachycardia.
