Wall The heart is composed of cardiac muscle which enable the heart to contract and allow the synchronization of the heart beat. The heart wall is divided into three layers: the epicardium‚ myocardium‚ and endocardium. * Epicardium - outer protective layer of the heart. * Myocardium - muscular middle layer wall of the heart. * Endocardium - inner layer of the heart that is continuous with the inner lining of blood * Cardiac Conduction * Cardiac conduction is the rate at which

INTRODUCTION Some say that nursing is a straightforward profession‚ that a nurse only needs to look after poorly patients‚ administer medication‚ and write documentation.

The cardiac conduction system of the heart consists of specialized muscle cells that generate and send rhythmic electrical impulses to the myocardium in order for the heart to contract (Cardiac Conduction System‚ 2016). When there is the normal rhythm of the heart it is called sinus rhythm and any deviation from sinus rhythm is called an arrhythmia (Saladin‚ 2012). Electrocardiograms (ECG) record the electrical impulses and help determine when there are any abnormalities in the way the heart functions

It is under the control of the autonomic nervous system‚ however‚ even without nervous imput contractions
