Sinus Block and Sinus Arrest - EKG (ECG) Interpretation

An abnormal cardiac rhythm that results from the failure of the sinoatrial node to conduct or produce action potentials. This leads to the intermediate pause of a cardiac cycle followed by an escape beat or the continuation of normal sinus rhythm.

[@nerzcz6910]

Thank you. Clear easy to understand EKG explanations ! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@maryperez5631]

I finally was clarified between the difference of this two heart rhythms by the help of this video. OMG. Thats very simple! How does our instructor/ school make it so complicated.

[@medzcool]

Glad the video was helpful!

[@TrenTonStackZ]

Probably because they learned through memorization and not concept; so they don't actually understand the "Why".... I'm currently having same issues with getting tele certified

[@meeiyoongi]

My first thought was, “aah, it was missing a “p”…how did I missed that?!”. This made it so clear I could cry! Lol I’ve watched most of the vids already and I keep on thinking how I wished I found your channel sooner!

[@bexabex1599]

This is perfect explanation thank you very much

[@ricardobracho9567]

This video was great! I don't know why the explanation on the book I'm reading is so... complicated, you were able to give an extremely clean explanation in just a couple minutes. Thank you so much!

[@sarahdarwiche4965]

Thank you for such a great description, this helped me a lot!

[@amerdeepsingh9169]

Wow, you made it so clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much.

Omg this was so clear & simplified, thank you SO much !

[@loloyvillamor4127]

well explained!!❤️ so clear so simple thanks man!

[@citizensnips2400]

So cool, and incredibly easy to understand. Thank you for this!

[@jessicagonzalez6001]

This is surely an easy way to know the difference between a sinus block and a sinus arrest. Thank you so much.

[@beauty_anakaren]

Thank you! Straight forward and simple 👍🏼

[@darshanadimuthu3938]

Best lecture series I have ever watched

[@azmusic92]

I work on the telemetry unit and this was so helpful in helping me understand the differences. Thank you so much

[@coledooley6166]

Beautifully designed and explained 👏

[@Ambipie]

As much as I used to be interested in being an EMT, I used this video to make a concept for a Rhythm Doctor level (a new game around heart rhythm and defibrillation medicine and awesome music). Thank you for putting this into terms anyone can understand.

[@Humbleman2024]

This guy..just amazing. THANK YOU! 🎉

[@cloudchaser6287]

oh my god.... it was utterly easy.... my lecturer just can't teach everything precisely... :') thank you for the insights

[@wadelarue626]

I'm reminded of an old phrase, concerning blocks/arrests. "You can walk around the BLOCK, but not if you're under ARREST." The block's P waves, even the absent one, will march out.

[@deebde4560]

Thanks

[@pianomond]

world-class

[@edreesalqutel8002]

Nnice work......

[@t.g.v.6955]

Where did you get all this informations? Excellent. Thanks for sharing.

[@morelnones1103]

The second is not a sinus arrest its a junctional escape beat

[@arianks7668]

Thank you. Quick question: In junctional escape rhythm, while we don't have a P-wave when the post-sinus arrest QRS is produced, we apparently have P-waves in the beats after that. If the SA node is at arrest, can we explain how these normal looking P-waves are produced?

[@rumeysaeed1]

Brillliant 🎉

[@Slap_it_in]

Sinus takes over after beat happens

[@pq6789]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@AMRsti93]

Can you please tell me what it Is when your heart beats several times really fast then pauses then beats several times again then pauses. This happens to me sometimes when I lay down quickly

[@310hoods]

After the AV junction takes over will the subsequent beats still have P Waves?

[@stoiccrane4259]

Does the SA node beat from 60-80 bpm or 60-100 bpm? All my NHA books list seem to list 100 bpm as the top end.

[@jacobledford9099]

What about Sick sinus syndrome

[@higgsboson8793]

Since a sinus arrest in 2+ seconds , what do you call a heart pause thats 1 second? Please help !!

[@SierraGolf017]

What is the difference between Sinus Block and 2nd Degree AV block Mobitz 2?

[@lyricson4ya]

❤️❤️✌️✌️🙌🙌🙌

[@claudelebel49]

How dangerous is a sinus arrest? Could this lead to death? I experienced a four-and-a-half second pause and wondered what the possible consequences might be for a longer pause. I am an ordinary citizen trying to come to grips with his predicament. The installation of a pacemaker has been recommended but I am resisting. I am 72 years of age and have undergone triple bypass surgery a few years back.

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

Well since you've had a bypass then a pacemaker shouldn't bother you !

[@MrUsaer]

In my 70s. I had a 6.2 second pause! This triggered a 4:00 AM call from My holter monitor guy. He seems surprised when I answered the phone in such a cheerful voice. Yesterday, my Cardiologist told me that I do NOT need a pacemaker or a defibrillator at this time. I was kind of surprised by that! He Is recommending having ablation procedure. I have 1 yr CHF and 1Afib episode 45dayz ago.

[@khanharisfrd]

How is sinus arrhythmia different from sinus block

[@juliekatekunich5217]

This is so me. I’m so scared 😭😭😭😭😭

[@SUGAR_XYLER]

Me too 😬

[@MrUsaer]

Live for today. Wife was told she would likely not survive more than 3 years. That was 13 years ago! She is employed and works everyday. She has a positive attitude and acts as if the doctor told her she only has a cold 😊

[@thelawless1523]

Death is cool cant wait. my hart beats 4-5 beats then 3 second pause then a hard beat allover the place
