Detailed description
The heart's pacemaker is called the sinoatrial (SA) node. The SA node is controlled by the nervous system and is responsible for initiating electrical impulses that stimulate the heart muscle to contract and pump blood.
Sinus arrest, also known as sinus standstill, refers to a temporary cessation of electrical impulse generation by the SA node, leading to a temporary halt in atrial or entire heart activity.
