The normal heart rhythm is ''sinus rhythm''. That means that the rhythm has its origin in the sinus node, the heart's fastest physiological impulse generator. | The normal heart rhythm is ''sinus rhythm''.

These last two definitions will be discussed in the topic [[P wave morphology]]. | These last two definitions will be discussed in the topic [[P wave morphology]]. | ||
Heart rhythms which are not sinus rhythm are [[arrhythmias]]. | Heart rhythms which are not sinus rhythm are [[arrhythmias]]. If the heart rate exceeds 100 bpm, the [[Arrhythmias#Tachyarrhythmias|tachcyardia flow chart]] should be followed. | ||
