Sinus rhythm refers to the normal heartbeat rhythm generated by the sinoatrial (SA) node, the heart's natural pacemaker. It is characterized by a regular rhythm with a heart rate typically ranging from 60 to 100 beats per minute, and each heartbeat is preceded by a P wave on an electrocardiogram (ECG). This rhythm indicates that the electrical impulses are originating from the SA node, ensuring efficient and coordinated contractions of the heart. Maintaining sinus rhythm is crucial for effective blood circulation and overall heart health.
