ABSTRACT

Sinus arrhythmia is normal in children. It is abnormal in adults but not

indicative of specific pathology. The heart accelerates during inspira-

tion and slows during expiration (ECG 90).

Wandering pacemaker

Wandering pacemaker is seen usually with sinus arrhythmia, with the

same clinical significance. The sinus pacemaker may move location

within the SA node from beat to beat. This shows up as a change in

P wave size and PR interval.
