Miley Cyrus is no stranger to troubles of the heart. Especially those of the medical variety.

According to MTV Online, the star of "Hannah Montana" talked frankly about her history of tachycardia, a condition where there is a rapid acceleration of heart rate.  
  
"The type of tachycardia I have isn't dangerous," She said in an interview with the network. "It won't hurt me, but it does bother me."  
  
Though tachycardia by itself is not fatal, it can be brought on by a variety of factors such as low blood pressure, the use of stimulants, and stress. Cyrus is no stranger to that last factor, especially if Nick Jonas is involved. If left untreated, it could lead to a real life case of heart break known as myocardial infarction.  
  
"We're just so busy," Cyrus said of her short-lived relationship with the singer-songwriter known for his work with the Jonas Brothers trio. "Unlike most 12 or 13 year olds, we're like 'Oh yeah, I can't hang out with you today because I got to go to work...I got a German concert."  
  
In her memoir "Miles to Go," Cyrus, 16, described Jonas as her "Prince Charming." By all accounts the relationship lasted only a few months. The two have frequently described themselves as best friends and Cyrus herself as noted that though their romance is over, "I still love him with all my heart."
