Sinus rhythm refers to the normal heartbeat initiated by the sinus node, characterized by a regular rhythm and a heart rate typically between 60 to 100 beats per minute. An old anterior wall infarct indicates a prior heart attack that affected the anterior portion of the heart muscle, often seen on an electrocardiogram (ECG) as Q waves or other changes in specific leads. This condition can lead to complications such as reduced cardiac function or arrhythmias, depending on the extent of the damage. It is important for ongoing management and monitoring to prevent further cardiovascular issues.

What is a sinus rhythm?
When the heart is functioning properly the sinus node controls the firing of action potential that contract the heart. When the sinus node dominates the heart will contract in a synchronized and effective rhythm This is called sinus rhythm.
Can you have normal sinus rhythm and sinus tachycardia simultaneously?
no
A sinus rhythm originate in?
Sinus nodes (sa nodes)
A sinus rhythm originates in the?
Sinus nodes (sa nodes)
Where in the heart would the SA node be found?
The anterior, upper part of the right atrium.The Sinoatrial Node or SA Node is located in the right Atrium of the Heart. The SA node is responsible of the normal sinus rhythm.
What is a sinus rhythm and what other heart rhythms are there?
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.
Can sinus rhythm be pulseless?
Yes, sinus rhythm can be pulseless in certain conditions, such as in cases of severe hypotension or cardiac arrest. While sinus rhythm indicates that the heart's electrical system is functioning normally, it does not guarantee effective blood circulation. If the heart is not generating sufficient contraction strength or if there is severe obstruction in blood flow, a person may have a sinus rhythm without a detectable pulse. This condition requires immediate medical intervention.
