A substance that causes the heart to beat faster can be referred to as a "stimulant." Caffeine is a stimulant, certain types of drugs like ephedra, and the herb Ma-Huang are stimulants that rev up the heart rate. They stimulate the nervous system which in turn causes your heart to beat faster.

Cardiac Stimulant You own body produces a stimulant in fear or excitement ADRENALIN this is a common factor for having a fast heart beat. There are many other drugs and even some foods that can cause cardiac stimulation.

Medically, it could be called a chronotropic substance, chronotropic referring specifically to having an effect of increasing the heart rate. Beta 1 (actually it would be a Beta 1 agonist) refers to not only increased rate (chronotropic), but also increased force of contraction (dromotropic), and increased cardiac irritability (ionotropic). Stimulants have multiple other effects beside the increased pulse rate.
