The sinoatrial node is the pacemaker of the heart and determines the normal rhythm.

Cardiac arrhythmia refers to abnormal heart rhythm, as measured with an ECG. A "normal" rhythms is called a "Sinus Rhythm", as it originates in the Sinoatrial node of the heart. Any rhythm that originates elsewhere, or deviates from what is considered "normal" is an arrhythmia. There are many types of arrhythmia. On a cardiac monitor, if we see beats that are abnormal, we call the ectopy, or ectopic beats. But as far as a "term for arrhythmia"... that's the term: Arrhythmia.
It is called an AED; automated external defibrillator.
to control injury-related bleeding from the heart, cardiac compressions to restore a normal heart rhythm, or to relieve pressure on the heart caused by cardiac tamponade
It's called an AED; automated external defibrillator.
My guess is it's what the majority of healthy people heart's sound like, and through that, they determine if a heartbeat rythm is abnormal or not.
The full name of the device used to shock the heart back into a normal rhythm is an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). It delivers an electric shock to the heart in cases of cardiac arrest, aiming to restore a normal rhythm. AEDs are commonly found in public places and are designed for easy use by non-medical personnel.
Pacemaker The heart's natural pacemaker is the sinoatrial (SA) node. The SA node sends an electrical impulse through both atria, pausing at the atrioventricular (AV) node, which is a small mass of cardiac muscle. To restore normal rhythm in the case of a block, an artificial cardiac pacemaker can be implanted in the chest.
