As you can see, knowledge of [[Rate|heart rate]] and [[P wave morphology]] are necessary to determine the rhythm. We have put Rhythm as step 1 as it is of great importance. Arrhythmias include the most life-threatening ECG abnormalities. In most settings, however, the rhythm will be sinus. | As you can see, knowledge of [[Rate|heart rate]] and [[P wave morphology]] are necessary to determine the rhythm.
