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.

If the rhythm is not sinus, the '''[[arrhythmias|arrhytmias algorithm]]''' should be followed.  
If the rhythm is not sinus, the '''[[Arrhythmias|Arrhytmias algorithm]]''' should be followed.
