Tachycardia is a medical term used to describe a heart rate that is too fast, typically above 100 beats per minute. This is consistent with Mr. Jones's heart rate of 200 beats per minute. Bradycardia refers to a heart rate that is too slow, arrhythmia refers to an irregular heart rate or rhythm, and hypertension refers to high blood pressure.
