Detailed explanation-1: -The sinus node continuously generates electrical impulses, thereby setting the normal rhythm and rate in a healthy heart. Hence, the SA node is referred to as the natural pacemaker of the heart.
Detailed explanation-2: -Electrical impulses from the heart muscle cause your heart to beat (contract). This electrical signal begins in the sinoatrial (SA) node, located at the top of the heart’s upper-right chamber (the right atrium). The SA node is sometimes called the heart’s “natural pacemaker.”
Detailed explanation-3: -Single chamber. One lead attaches to the upper or lower heart chamber. Dual-chamber. Uses two leads, one for the upper and one for the lower chamber. Biventricular pacemakers (used in cardiac resynchronization therapy). 11-Dec-2022
