Sinus rhythm refers to a heart rhythm that is controlled by the depolarisation of the sinoatrial node. You can also have focal ectopic rhythms where random areas of the heart depolarise first and you can have supraventricular rhythms.

What are the key differences between atrial fibrillation (afib) and sinus rhythm?

Atrial fibrillation (afib) is an irregular heart rhythm where the upper chambers of the heart beat chaotically and out of sync with the lower chambers. Sinus rhythm is a normal heart rhythm where the heart beats in a regular, coordinated pattern. Key differences include the irregularity of afib versus the regularity of sinus rhythm, as well as the potential for symptoms and complications associated with afib.


What is sinus rhythm with occasional premature ventricular complexes?

Sinus rhythm, the natural beating of the heart begins in the sinoatrial (or sinus) node and is located in the wall of the right atrium. Occasional premature ventricular complexes are abnormal heartbeats that disrupt the regular rhythm of the heart. The irregular heartbeats begin in one of the ventricles in the lower part of the heart.
