Most bronchodilators, such as albuterol (aka salbutamol in Europe), are modifications of adrenaline (epinephrine). There are several different types of adrenaline receptors in the body and the medications bind better to the type that opens up the lungs than to the type that speeds up the heart. That, and the fact that you deliver more drug to the lungs than the heart by inhaling them, means that the effect of the medication is much greater in the lung (bronchodilation) than in the heart (fast heart rates - tachycardia).
This is not perfect. Some is absorbed into the blood, especially if the inhaler is used a lot, and so gets to the heart and makes it go fast.

Why there is tachycardia in asthmatic patients?
Tachycardia in asthmatic patients can occur due to several factors. First, the body often responds to bronchoconstriction and hypoxia (low oxygen levels) by increasing heart rate to enhance blood flow and oxygen delivery to vital organs. Additionally, the use of bronchodilator medications, such as beta-agonists, can stimulate the heart and lead to an increased heart rate. Stress and anxiety associated with asthma attacks may also contribute to tachycardia.
What is other name of Albuterol?

Is Paroxysmal tachycardia the same as unsustained tachycardia?

How is a bronchodilator taken?
Depending on the specific drug, a bronchodilator may be inhaled, injected, or taken orally
Does xopenex cause tachycardia?
Xopenex (levalbuterol) is a bronchodilator that can cause tachycardia as a potential side effect. This medication works by stimulating beta-2 adrenergic receptors in the lungs, but it may also affect beta-1 receptors in the heart, leading to an increased heart rate. While not everyone will experience this side effect, it is important for patients to monitor their heart rate and report any significant changes to their healthcare provider.

How does multifocal atrial tachycardia progress?
Atrial fibrillation can be caused by the multifocal atrial tachycardia progression. The multifocal atrial tachycardia, mostly, progress and presents itself as other forms of atrial tachycardia, including but not limited to, tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy.
What is a Supraventricular event?
A supraventricular tachycardia is tachycardia (heart rate > 100) that originates above the AV node, in the atria. There are several different forms of supraventricular tachycardia, including sinus tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia, multifocal atrial tachycardia, and a nebulous condition called paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). Many people also consider junctional tachycardia a supraventricular tachycardia.
What does a bronchodilator do to the airway?
A bronchodilator is a medication used to relax the bronchial muscles. By relaxing , the airways become larger and therefore easier to breathe.
