tachycardia with extrasystoles
Explanation:
Or tachyarrhythmia with extrasystoles.

It is important to translate the "tachi..." bit which means the heart rate is increased.

The Italian is rather non-specific so we don't know if the extrasystoles are atrial or ventricular.

DIAGNOSI
Per convenzione si parla di tachiaritmia quando la frequenza atriale e/o ventricolare è maggiore di 100 al minuto. In genere ciò comporta una frequenza cardiaca, rilevata al polso periferico o centrale, maggiore di 100 battiti al minuto.

Is this "scientific" enough for you?

tachycardia with extrasystoles and arrhythmia?

Well you don't really need to add "arrhythmia" since tachycardia is by definition an arrhythmia, despite what some may believe.

Extrasystolic arrhythmia


Explanation:
Never heard of "extrasystolic tachyarrhythmia", there is commonly used "extrasystolic arrhythmia", but may be somebody who specialises in this field can correct me.

disagree  Lirka: No, it does not address the "-tachi" part which means that the heart rate is above 100 beats/min. Also bradycardia can have extrasystoles, for instance...

neutral  Joseph Tein: I agree with lirka - 'extrasystolic arrhythmia' sounds correct in a general sense, but the source is more specific: *tachi*aritmia.

extrasystolic tachycardia


Explanation:
In a book I'm currently reading about heart attacks - "100 Questions and Answers About Heart Attack and Related Cardiac Problems" by cardiologist Edward K. Chung, it states in the glossary: "Tachycardia: Rapid heart rhythm. *Also called Tachyarrhthmia*." Indeed I don't find any instances of "extrasystolic tachyarrhythmia" in a Google search, but there are six instances of "extrasystolic tachychardia."

Cardiology is an extremely complex and fascinating field. Both the heart itself, as well as our modern diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, are nothing less than miraculous.

Example sentence(s):
  • "The increased irritability of the ventricle which expresses itself in acceleration or even extrasystolic tachycardia and the impairment of conduction from ... "
  • "It shows ventricular extrasystolic tachycardia, the typical toxic effect. "

neutral  SJLD: this is not a "mainstream" medical term - your first quote is from a book on homeopathy written in 1935
26 mins
  -> I think you're right! At least 3 of the 6 Google references seem to be quite old -- even older than 1935.

disagree  Lionel_M (X): Tachiaritmia is not a tachycardia ! One is a lost of rythme, the other is an increase of frequence
