TRUTH !!
Tachycardia comes from the Greek words tachys (rapid or accelerated) and kardia (of the heart). Tachycardia typically refers to a heart rate that exceeds the normal range for a resting heartrate (heartrate in an inactive or sleeping individual). It can be dangerous depending on the speed and type of rhythm.

Thanks, PF. It'll be easy to remember now with rhythm in both words. I can remember the Tachycardia by thinking of a tachometer.:LOL:
