Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rhythms are classified according to the site of origin, meaning where the electrical impulse initiating the heartbeat originates in the heart. The other options are not relevant to this classification. "Normal" refers to a regular heartbeat without any abnormal rhythms present. "Paroxysmal" refers to a sudden and temporary increase in heart rate. "Reentry" refers to a type of abnormal rhythm that occurs when the electrical impulse in the heart cycles repeatedly through the same pathway.
