Nodal Rhythm

Definition: Nodal rhythm refers to an abnormal cardiac rhythm originating from the atrioventricular (AV) node, resulting in a slower heart rate than normal.

Sense 1: Noun - Medical

In medicine, nodal rhythm is a type of cardiac arrhythmia that occurs when the SA (sinoatrial) node fails to stimulate the heart's normal rhythm, leading to the activation of an alternative pacemaker in the AV (atrioventricular) node.

Example sentence: The patient's EKG showed a distinct nodal rhythm, indicating an issue with the electrical pathway in the heart.

Sense 2: Adjective - Popular

Used more informally, nodal rhythm can describe any situation or pattern that has a central or focal point.

Example sentence: The nodal rhythm of the city revolves around its iconic landmark, the clock tower.

Sense 3: Noun - Local

In the context of a specific local region or network, nodal rhythm refers to a particular pattern or rhythm that characterizes the interactions or connections among the various nodes within that system.

Example sentence: The nodal rhythm of the transportation network plays a crucial role in ensuring efficient connectivity across the city.
