Sinus tachycardia can result from various causes which include: [[cardiovascular]] (e.g. [[heart failure]], [[myocardial infarction]], [[cardiac tamponade]]); side effect of [[medications]] (e.g. [[aminophylline]], [[atropine]]); [[infectious]] (e.g. [[sepsis]]); [[metabolic]] (e.g. [[dehydration]], [[hypoglycemia]]), and many other conditions. It can also be as a result of some acute, life threatening conditions such as [[alcohol]] and [[cocaine]] overdose, [[pulmonary embolism]], [[anemia]], [[shock]], e.t.c | |||

Overview
Sinus tachycardia can result from various causes which include: cardiovascular (e.g. heart failure, myocardial infarction, cardiac tamponade); side effect of medications (e.g. aminophylline, atropine); infectious (e.g. sepsis); metabolic (e.g. dehydration, hypoglycemia), and many other conditions. It can also be as a result of some acute, life threatening conditions such as alcohol and cocaine overdose, pulmonary embolism, anemia, shock, e.t.c
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.
