Overview
Sinus arrhythmia is a variation in the rate of the SA node. It is the most common type of arrhythmia and is considered to be a normal variant. It is more common in the young, especially with slower heart rates or after enhanced vagal tone.[1] It also decreases with age or with auatonomic dysfunction.[2] The formal definition of sinus arrhythmia is a variation in the P-P interval by 0.12 sec (120 msec) or more in the presence of normal P waves and the usual PR interval. There are two types of sinus arrhythmia: respiratory, or phasic; and nonrespiratory, or nonphasic.
Classification
Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia
Non-respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia
- In this type, the variation in the P-P interval is unrelated to the respiratory cycle. It can occur in the normal heart, the diseased heart or a side effect of some medications.
Ventriculophasic Sinus Arrhythmia
- A ventriculophasic sinus arrhythmia occurs most often in patients with third degree AV block, but it's also observed after a compensatory pause induced by a premature ventricular contraction.[3]
