   Medications for a fast heart rate may include beta blockers, or antiarrhythmic agents such as procainamide, which attempt to restore a normal heart rhythm. [6] This latter group may have more significant side effects, especially if taken for a long period of time. [6] Pacemakers are often used for slow heart rates. [6]

   AF can cause disabling and annoying symptoms. Palpitations, angina, lassitude (weariness), and decreased exercise tolerance are related to rapid heart rate and inefficient cardiac output caused by AF. Furthermore, AF with a persistent rapid rate can cause a form of heart failure called tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy. This can significantly ...

   People with TIC most often present with symptoms of congestive heart failure and/or symptoms related to their irregular heart rhythm. [1] Symptoms of congestive heart failure can include shortness of breath, ankle swelling, fatigue, and weight gain.

   A normal resting heart rate is 60 to 100 beats per minute. A resting heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute is defined as a tachycardia. During an episode of SVT, the heart beats about 150 to 220 times per minute. [9] Specific treatment depends on the type of SVT [5] and can include medications, medical procedures, or surgery. [5]

7. Atrial fibrillation - Wikipedia

   AF is often treated with medications to slow the heart rate to a near-normal range (known as rate control) or to convert the rhythm to normal sinus rhythm (known as rhythm control). [5] Electrical cardioversion can convert AF to normal heart rhythm and is often necessary for emergency use if the person is unstable. [23]
