But a primary rhythm disorder of the heart with persistent high rates can also damage the heart. This situation is known as tachycardiomyopathy. This can occur in long standing atrial fibrillation with fast rates or persistent junctional reentrant tachycardia (PJRT). It is usually reversible if the heart rate is controlled by medications or special treatment like radiofrequency catheter ablation or other forms of ablation of the abnormal focus or pathway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fast heart rate may be a manifestation of pre-existing heart disease which is causing a decrease in function of heart and the increase in rate is secondary. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":60026,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-heart-disease-faq"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Can a fast heart rate damage your heart?
