Sinus rhythm
The typical rate range for sinus rhythm is 60-100 beats per minute. The P wave should be constant in morphology and regular. It should be upright in leads I and II and inverted in aVR. A P wave should always precede each QRS and viceversa. The PR interval should be constant and normal. Sinus rhythm may be slightly irregular with respiratory variation. The following animation illustrates what we have just described.
