Dr. Ira Friedlander answered

Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Vital signs: Blood pressure and heart rate are vital signs. They represent the status of your cardiovascular physiology. Heart rhythm refers to the electrical activation of the heart muscle. You can have entirely normal vital signs with many different heart rhythms.
