the sinus node are called Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR)‚ Sinus Bradycardia‚ Sinus Tachycardia‚ and Sinus Arrhythmia. Normal Sinus Rhythm is fairly easy to understand due to the pacemaker impulse‚ which originates in the sinus node and travels through the normal conduction pathways within normal time frames. Because the pacemaker originates in the sinus node and the conduction is normal‚ the P waves are uniform and will have a P wave for each QRS complex. Due to it being a Normal Sinus Rhythm the heart

Aneurysms were first described by the 16th century anatomist and physician Vesalius‚ who believed they were simply a widening of the vessel (Collin et al 2009). An abdominal aneurysm (AAA) is a condition in which the abdominal aorta (a large blood vessel that supplies blood to the abdominal‚ pelvis and the lower limbs) becomes large and ballooning leading to the development of several symptoms.
