1. • Sinus tachycardia should always be treated with shock therapy.
   • Sinus tachycardia only results from strenuous exercise or high stress situations.
   • The goal of treatment is to identify and correct the underlying cause.
   • Sinus tachycardia is a normal rhythm and never considered dangerous.

9. Where does sinus tachycardia originate?

1. • Septum wall
   • Atrioventricular node
   • Sinoatrial node
   • Purkinje system
