“Would LAD lesion cause tachycardia? ”
I am a 37 years old woman and I am suffering from tachycardia. My resting heart beat is at about 130bpm. I also have 65% LAD lesion. Could my lesion be the reason behind my tachycardia?

LAD lesion by itself can not cause tachycardia. There must be other reasons for that. Please consult your cardiologist.
If your resting heart rate is in the 130s, you may have an abnormal heart rhythm such as atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter. This could be readily evaluated by an electrocardiogram and visit with a Cardiologist. Your 65% lad lesion is unlikely to be the cause of the fast heart rate.
Could be
Not really. Symptom is CHEST PAINS.
Tachycardia can be caused by many things, some related directly to your heart and some because of other, more systemic issues - infection, inflammatory processes, abnormal hormone levels, etc.
With regard to your specific query, 65% blockage of a coronary artery is usually not enough obstruction to be blood flow limiting and typically would not be clinically significant to require correction other than interventions to prevent further progression - diet modification, exercise, control of blood pressure, glucose levels and inflammation.

65% lesion is a significant lesion. Other causes of tachycardia include atrial fibrillation (an irregular heart beat) that can be caused by other structural heart conditions such as leaky valves. When patients have tight lesions (70% or greater), sometimes they can have tachycardias caused by the lack of blood flow to a large area of the heart muscle.
You need to see a cardiologist for the LAD lesion and an electrophysiologist for your tachycardia. They will help sort out your problem.
Not likely
Yes, It is possible. I would advise to contact cardiologist for evaluation. Thanks
