In this episode we’re breaking down:
The components of a “normal” sinus rhythm
Sinus tachycardia characteristics, causes and treatment
Sinus bradycardia characteristics, causes and treatment
How to identify sinus rhythm with PACs
What exactly is sinus arrhythmia and why it’s usually no big deal
The differences between sinus block, sinus pause and sinus arrest
