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
