Sinus bradycardia is a dysrhythmia that proceeds normally through the
conduction pathway but at a slower than usual (≤60 beats/minute)
rate. Sinus bradycardia is a slower than usual (≤60 beats/minute) heart
rate.
A 66-year-old female client is having cardiac diagnostic tests to
determine the cause of her symptoms. In her follow-up visit to the
cardiologist, she is told that she has a dysrhythmia at a rate slower
than 60 beats/minute. What type of dysrhythmia did the tests reveal?
The P wave depicts atrial depolarization, or spread of the electrical
impulse from the sinoatrial node through the atria.
