Sinus rhythm

What does "Sinus rhythm" mean in a report or doctor's letter? In our medical dictionary, you will find a patient-friendly explanation of the meaning of this medical term.

Explanation

Sinus rhythm refers to the normal rhythm of the heart, where the electrical signals that control the heartbeat start from a small area in the top of the heart called the sinus node. This rhythm ensures that the heart beats in a regular and coordinated way, allowing it to effectively pump blood around the body. If the heart is not in sinus rhythm, it may beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly, which can cause various health problems.
