| Question | Answer |
| NSR rate = | 60-100bpm |
| NSR rhythm = | Regular |
| NRS P-wave = | upright, 1:1 w/ QRS, ID |
| NRS QRS Complex = | <.12 sec |
| NRS PRI = | .12 - .20sec |
| Sinus Tachycardia Rate = | > 100bpm |
| why would you have Sinus Tachycardia | exercise |
| Sinus bradycardia Rate = | < 60bpm |
| Why would you have Sinus bradycardia | sleeping, athletes |
| Sinus Arrhythmia Rhythm = | Regularly irregular |
| why would you have Sinus arrhythmia | breathing variation |
| Sa node fired- no conduction of impulse | Sinus pause |
| Sinus pause rhythm is | basically irregular |
| what does a Sinus Pause look like | a dropped beat |
| SA node fails to fire momentarily | Sinus Arrest |
| Sinus Arrest rhythm is | basically irregular |
| what does a Sinus Arrest look like | baseline wanders |
