Tachycardia refers to any heartbeat greater than 100 beats per minute. This can originate from the top of the heart and above the ventricle, and therefore is called a supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), or from the ventricle (bottom chamber). Patients may have no symptoms. This is more common with increasing age. For patients who do experience symptoms, these include palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness and skipped beats. The patient often perceives the irregular heartbeat as very unpleasant. Loss of consciousness may result if the heart rate becomes too rapid. An implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) delivers electroshocks to terminate tachycardias.

BIOTRONIK Home Monitoring is a remote monitoring service available with cardiac monitors, pacemakers, implantable defibrillators (ICDs) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) systems.
The BIOTRONIK DX System is the world's only ICD system that can provide dual-chamber diagnostics without the risks associated with the additional hardware of a second lead.
CLS is the only and unique physiological sensor able to adapt the heart rate in total synchrony with the autonomic system and is the only one able to react both to mental and physical activities.
