In an earlier era Australia was a nation of battlers, of working people who were hardened by the rigours of economic depression and war, and, if not proud of their penury, certainly not ashamed of it. The Aussie battler became an icon of Australian political folklore, and the image persists into the present even though, as a result of sustained economic growth for the last five decades, the number of people who truly struggle has shrunk to a small proportion of the population. For every genuine battler there are three or four who imagine they fit the description. That is why our political leaders keep alive and exploit the myth of the Aussie battler.

tachycardia
Part of speech: noun
Morphological type: derivation
Topics: cardiology

Etymology: Learned borrowing from New Latin tachycardia, from Ancient Greek ταχύς (takhús, “swift”) + καρδία (kardía, “heart”). By surface analysis, tachy- + -cardia. Compare French tachycardie.
Inflected forms:
form: tachycardias
pos: noun

pos: noun

examples: The heart becomes irritable, there is nervous palpitation, or attacks of paroxysmal tachycardia.
Tachycardias of all types reduce the cardiac output if the rate is high enough. […] The main difference between the tachycardias as regards the reduction of cardiac output is the rate at which they cause a significant reduction of cardiac output, and this depends on the type of tachycardia.
Tachycardia is defined as a FHR [fetal heart rate] above 160 bpm that lasts for at least 10 minutes. Tachycardia represents increased sympathetic and decreased parasympathetic autonomic tone and, therefore, is generally associated with a normal loss of FHR baseline variability[…].
With atrial tachycardia, the atria of the heart beats abnormally fast. Though often unpleasant for the patient, an atrial tachycardia is typically not fatal. However, some tachycardia, particularly ventricular tachycardia, can trigger ventricular fibrillation wherein the heart beats chaotically resulting in little or no net flow of blood from the heart to the brain and organs.
Both CRT-Ds and ICDs are implanted under the skin, in the patient’s upper chest area. The devices have wires called leads that attach to the heart and regulate the rhythm of the muscle. Defibrillators help patients with bradycardia – a slow heartbeat – by pacing the heartbeat and those with tachycardia – a fast heartbeat – by delivering shocks that reset heartbeats to normal.
When your resting heart rate is over 100 bpm, providers call this tachycardia. This means you may have an issue with your heart’s conduction system that signals your heart to beat. Examples of this type of issue include atrial flutter and ventricular tachycardia.
