Defining characteristic: Increased heart rate originating from the sinus node.
Not a cause: Hypokalemia (low potassium levels) can cause other heart rhythm abnormalities but is not a typical cause of sinus tachycardia.
Condition leading to sinus tachycardia: Hypovolemia (low blood volume) can trigger sinus tachycardia as the body tries to compensate for the decreased blood flow.
Typical heart rate: Above 100 beats per minute.
Relationship with hypotension: Hypotension (low blood pressure) can lead to sinus tachycardia as the body tries to compensate for decreased blood pressure.
