Diagnostic tests for Rapid heart beat:

Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Rapid heart beat. Some of these are listed below :

  • Physical examination
    • Note pulse rate, rhythm and regularity. If rate is over 150 beats per minute may suggest paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia. If rate is less than 150 beats per minute it is more likely to be sinus tachycardia which can be associated with exercise, fever, drugs or hyperthyroidism
    • Temperature (if fever is present with enlarged heart and heart murmur must consider bacterial endocarditis; fever itself may cause rapid heart beat
    • Blood pressure. If blood pressure is high may suggest phaeochromocytoma or hyperthyroidism
    • Cardiovascular examination looking for enlarged heart (may suggest congestive cardiac failure, valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy, hypothyroidism), heart murmur (may suggest valvular heart disease such as acute or chronic rheumatic fever or bacterial endocarditis )

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)

During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Rapid heart beat. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:

  • How long have you had the rapid heart beat (tachycardia)? - to determine if acute or chronic.
  • Is the rapid heart beat (tachycardia) constant or intermittent? - Constant rapid heart beat (tachycardia) may signify hyperthyroidism, fever or overuse of caffeine and other drugs. Intermittent rapid heart beat is more likely related to a heart arrhythmia.
  • If the rapid heart beat is intermittent, does it start suddenly?
  • If the rapid heart beat is intermittent, how long does it last?
  • Is there a simple explanation for the rapid heart beat? - There is a normal heart rate increase as a response to various situations such as exercise, exertion, large meal, emotion, nervousness, anxiety, stress, worry, excitement and anger.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)

Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse your condition. The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Rapid heart beat) may include:

  • Palpitations (unpleasant awareness of the beating of the heart)? - Palpitations do not always imply "racing" of the heart.
  • Chest pain during an attack of racing heart beat? - may indicate angina, heart attack, aortic stenosis.
  • Shortness of breath during an attack of racing heart beat? - may indicate anxiety with hyperventilation (rapid breathing), mitral stenosis, cardiac failure, asthma, anemia.
  • Dizziness or faintness during an attack of rapid heart beat? - may indicate a more severe arrhythmia such as sick sinus syndrome, complete heart block, aortic stenosis or associated cerebrovascular disease.
  • Fever? - Fever itself may cause a rapid heart beat, but must consider bacterial endocarditis and rheumatic fever.
