Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rhythm described as "sinus rhythm with a sinus arrest and a ventricular escape beat" indicates a period where the normal sinus rhythm is interrupted by a pause (sinus arrest), and then the heart's ventricles initiate a beat to compensate for the missed beat from the sinus node. This scenario is consistent with the description of a rhythm that includes a pause followed by a beat that does not originate from the sinus node, which is characteristic of a ventricular escape beat.
