Sinus rhythm (a.k.a. normal sinus rhythm) refers to the normal heart beat originating from the sinoatrial node. This is manifested as an upright P wave in lead II of the ECG. Sinus bradycardia occurs ...

Bradycardia is a condition characterized by a slower than normal heart rate. While a normal adult heart beats between 60 and 100 times per minute, bradycardia is defined when heart rate falls below 60 ...

“Understanding the remodeling that’s going on in the heart at the transcriptional level is pretty fascinating,” said Elizabeth Schroder Stumpf, a physiologist at the University of Kentucky, who was ...

The correct answer is sinus pause due to sinus node exit block. The rhythm is regular at a rate of 80 beats/min, although two long RR intervals (└┘) with a rate of 40 beats/min are present in the ...

The sinoatrial (SA) node is the natural pacemaker of the heart. It generates electrical impulses that cause the heart’s chambers to contract, setting the heart rate. The SA node typically generates 60 ...
