Sinus Bradycardia ECG Interpretation #313


Description

    sinus bradycardia tracing
  • Rhythms are often named according to the origin of the electrical activity in the heart or the structure where the problem is occurring.
  • Sinus Rhythms are aptly named due to the locus of stimulation being the SA (sinoatrial) node.
  • With Sinus Bradycardia the locus of stimulation is the same as normal sinus rhythm, just now the rate will be less than 60 bpm. Recall that “brady” means slow.
  • The only difference between sinus bradycardia and normal sinus rhythm is the rate. All other steps in the rhythm analysis are “normal”.
