Heart rhythm is the beating of heart at regular intervals. Sinus rhythm is considered as the normal rhythm of the heart. It has SA node pacing the heart by initiating electric impulses at a constant rate. Hence, a normal heart rhythm is regular with heart rate of 60–100 beats per minute and is paced by SA node. On an electrocardiograph, a single beat of the heart in sinus rhythm is traced as a P wave, a QRS complex, a T wave and a U wave. They occur in a definite order, over definite time periods, with definite relative sizes.
Abnormal heart rhythms:
Nodal rhythm - When there is a block in conduction of impulses AV node takes over as the pacemaker. This abnormal heart rhythm is called junctional rhythm or nodal rhythm. The heart rate in such cases is 40 to 60 beats per minute.
Arrhythmia - An irregular heart rate and rhythm. Common types are premature atrial contractions, skipped heartbeat (premature ventricular contractions), sick sinus syndrome, atrial flutter, atrial fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation, bradycardia, heart block etc.
A team of Neonatologists in Bengaluru uses a novel medical technology called 'Total Body Cooling' to save the life of a newborn, who suffered a serious disturbance in the heart rhythm.
Arrhythmia: Are People Aware Of Heart Rhythm Disorder?
Experts suggest that remote heart monitoring is one way to help people suffering from heart problems. Read on to know all the benefits of remote monitoring.
Medications alone may not be enough to manage atrial fibrillation in some patients and minimally invasive electrophysiology procedures may be needed for them, says an expert.
The developers say that the 'bionic' pacemaker called Cysoni responds to the body's signals in real-time and alters heart rate in accordance with our respiration.
Women are more susceptible to atrial fibrillation (AF) than men when working night shifts.
A heart rhythm disorder, also known as an arrhythmia, is the health condition that occurs when the heart doesn't beat normally. To discuss everything about heart rhythm disorder, we have with us Dr Nityanand Tripathi.

Fish oil supplements are commonly prescribed for patients with elevated plasma triglycerides to reduce risk of cardiovascular disease. But US researchers says this may increase risk of developing atrial fibrillation.
Drug therapy and catheter ablation, the surgical procedure for irregular heartbeat, are equally effective, finds a new study. Here is all you need to know about this cardiac ailment, also known as atrial fibrillation.
A recent study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine has revealed that a novel gene therapy has been discovered that can potentially reset a racing heart immediately paving the way for pain-free treatment for patients with heart rhythm disorder.

A research suggests that a drug to treat Parkinson's may help treat patients with heart failure,
The findings could be used to improve the identification of people with impaired heart rate during recovery and those at higher risk of heart disease mortality.
Obese people are more likely to develop a rapid and irregular heart rate, called atrial fibrillation, which can lead to stroke, heart failure and other complications.
The more often nuts were included in the diet, the lower was the associated risk of atrial fibrillation, the findings showed.
