Would a 70 percent LAD lesion be the cause of tachycardia?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have tachycardia (resting heart rate 125 bpm) while just walking around the house and not doing much. My heart rate was about 160 bpm. I do get chest pains and tightness. I also have a 70 percent LAD lesion. My question is would the lesion be causing my tachycardia? Should I consult my cardiologist? I am currently on Amitriptyline. My CSK level is slightly raised and normal FBC.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

A blockage of 70 percent is referred to as a noncritical blockage. I suggest tablet Ecosprin 75 mg (Aspirin) every night so that the blockage will not progress in the future. Consult your doctor and take the medicine accordingly.

Tachycardia can be because of a large number of causes varying from anxiety, stress, anemia, decreased coronary blood supply, and defective electrical currents in the heart. Tachycardia can be of two types. Sinus tachycardia and arrhythmias. In sinus tachycardia, the heart rate increases, but the rhythm of the heart remains normal. This can be corrected easily with the help of beta-blocker. Arrhythmias can cause disturbed rhythm of the heart and are to be taken very seriously. They can even be fatal.

I would suggest you go for an ECG (electrocardiogram), 2D echo, and Holter test for getting evaluated. If you have an ECG, then attach a copy so that I can see the basic rhythms of your heart. Smoking and alcohol can also cause palpitations. But, you have not mentioned them.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please let me know if you need any help.

Thank you.
