Normal Sinus Rhythm
The heart's normal electrical rhythm. The SA node fires at 60–100 bpm, impulses conduct normally through the atria, AV node, and ventricles.
Recognition· 4
- Regular rhythm
- P wave before every QRS
- PR interval 120–200 ms
- Narrow QRS (<120 ms)
Mechanism
SA node fires normally at 60–100 bpm, impulses conduct through normal pathways
The sinoatrial (SA) node in the right atrium acts as the heart's natural pacemaker. It generates electrical impulses that spread through the atria, pause briefly at the AV node, then rapidly conduct through the ventricles via the His-Purkinje system.
Findings· 5
- Regular rhythm.
- Upright P wave before every QRS.
- PR interval 120–200 ms.
- Narrow QRS (<120 ms).
- Each P followed by a QRS.
