SINUS TACHYCARDIA ECG CHANGES - HEART AND TECHY
Ecg changes in sinus tachycardia.
What is meant by tachycardia? Tachy means increasing heart rate more than 100 beats per minute, before going to discuss about this topic we have to know what is meant by sinus rhythm, you can refer this topic in my previous video, the link is here

In sinus tachy, there is no conduction related abnormality present. Only the P, QRS and T complexes recorded in rapid succession. sinus tachy is a normal physiological response during emotion, respiration, exercise
But some cases sinus tachycardia also occur in some pathological conditions such as thyrotoxicosis, toxaemia, cardiac failure, in cardiac failure this arrhythmia mainly occur in as a result of increased Bainbridge reflex.
It is a normal accompaniment in fever, the sinus rate will increase by 8 beats per minute for every one-degree increase in temperature. What is meant by chronotropic incompetence? It is an inability to increase the heart rate according to our physiological need. for example, some people don't have an increase in heart rate during exercise to meet their body physiological need
Inappropriate sinus tachy is a clinical situation where sinus tachy is present without any identifiable causes. These are caused by either inappropriate increase of sinus node automaticity, this is an example of sinus tachycardia
carotid sinus massage or compression will help us to terminate this kind of arrhythmia
