A tachyarrhythmia is defined as 'any arrhythmia with a fast ventricular rate, defined as a rate greater than 100 beats per minute’. Tachyarrhythmias can range from only requiring monitoring to life-threatening, for which immediate intervention is required. In this lecture, clinical educator Joanne Reading discusses how to identify atrial tachyarrhythmias, junctional tachyarrhythmias and ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
