Preferred Label : tachycardia, ectopic atrial;
MeSH definition : Abnormally rapid heartbeats originating from one or more automatic foci (nonsinus
pacemakers) in the HEART ATRIUM but away from the SINOATRIAL NODE. Unlike the reentry
mechanism, automatic tachycardia speeds up and slows down gradually. The episode is
characterized by a HEART RATE between 135 to less than 200 beats per minute and lasting
30 seconds or longer.;
MeSH synonym : ectopic tachycardia, atrial; atrial tachycardia, ectopic; ectopic atrial tachycardia; atrial tachycardias, ectopic; ectopic atrial tachycardias; tachycardias, ectopic atrial; atrial ectopic tachycardia; atrial ectopic tachycardias; ectopic tachycardias, atrial; tachycardia, atrial ectopic; tachycardias, atrial ectopic;
