Difference between Atrial fibrillation and Sinus rhythm

Atrial fibrillation vs. Sinus rhythm

Atrial fibrillation (AF or A-fib) is an abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. A sinus rhythm is any cardiac rhythm where depolarization of the cardiac muscle begins at the sinus node.

Similarities between Atrial fibrillation and Sinus rhythm

Atrial fibrillation and Sinus rhythm have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Cardiac muscle, Electrical conduction system of the heart, Electrocardiography, Heart arrhythmia, P wave (electrocardiography), QRS complex, Sinoatrial node.

Cardiac muscle

Cardiac muscle (heart muscle) is one of the three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle.

Electrical conduction system of the heart

The electrical conduction system of the heart transmits signals generated usually by the sinoatrial node to cause contraction of the heart muscle.

Electrocardiography

Electrocardiography (ECG or EKG) is the process of recording the electrical activity of the heart over a period of time using electrodes placed on the skin.

Heart arrhythmia

Heart arrhythmia (also known as arrhythmia, dysrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat) is a group of conditions in which the heartbeat is irregular, too fast, or too slow.

P wave (electrocardiography)

The P wave in the ECG represents atrial depolarization, which results in atrial contraction, or atrial systole.

QRS complex

The QRS complex is a name for the combination of three of the graphical deflections seen on a typical electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG).

Sinoatrial node

The sinoatrial node (SA node), also known as sinus node, is a group of cells located in the wall of the right atrium of the heart.

Atrial fibrillation and Sinus rhythm Comparison

Atrial fibrillation has 182 relations, while Sinus rhythm has 17. As they have in common 7, the Jaccard index is 3.52% = 7 / (182 + 17).
