The sinus node (SA) is located in the roof of the right atrium. It is the fastest physiological pacemaker. When the sinus node generates an electrical impulse, the surrounding cells of the right atrium depolarize. Then the cells of the left atrium, the AV (atrioventricular)node, follow, and at last the ventricles are stimulated via the His bundle. | The sinus node (SA) is located in the roof of the right atrium.

With this knowledge it is quite simple to recognize normal sinus rhythm on the ECG. | With this knowledge it is quite simple to recognize normal sinus rhythm on the ECG. |
