Overview

Tachycardia is defined as heart rate more than 100 beats per minute and it can be sinus tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia or supraventricular tachycardia. Ventricular tachycardia can be distinguished by broad QRS complexes on an ECG.

Electrocardiogram

Shown below is an example of an ECG showing heart rate of more than 100 beats per minute indicating sinus tachycardia along with tall peaked T waves in the chest leads.
