A member asked:
I had asked the question about my pulse rest @ 150. i had ekg & it showed all norm but sinus tachycardia 150 at rest. is this ok? it wasn't vt or svt

Tachycardia: If the ECG was sinus tachycardia you needn't worry about ventricular tachycardia. Svt is usually faster. A rate of 150 is often aflutter with 2:1 block. If your physician is confident it is sinus tachycardia then it shouldn't be a problem. You may want to ask his/her opinion as to what is thought to be the cause.

Inappropriate Tach: Patient with inappropriate sinus tachycardia (ist) may have an elevated heart rate. You should have this evaluated soon. May need a holter. Good luck.
