Answer 1

The heart will not rupture (burst) from beating too quickly. However, a heart can rupture from trauma, heart attack, or a pathological entity.

When your heart beats too fast, the heart becomes ineffectual at circulating the blood this is the result of ventricular or atrial fibrillation....depending which area of the heart is beating too fast. Both require medical intervention to maintain life.
