rapid regular sinus rhythm
RS = rythme sinusal
"Regular Sinus Rhythm
A heart rhythm that originates in the sinoatrial node and is normally conducted is called a Normal Sinus Rhythm (NSR). The characteristics of a normal sinus rhythm are a regular rate between 60-100 beats per minute, a narrow complex, preceded by a P-wave where all the complexes look the same.
Normal conduction indicates that the myocardium is not irritable or injured. The real test to determine whether a patient is hemodynamically stable is to check his blood pressure. So, vital signs should be taken.
Use the 5-Step approach to identify the rhythm:
Step 1. Rate: 60-100
Step 2. Regular
Step 3. P-wave precedes QRS (PR interval 0.16 sec)
Step 4. Narrow complex (QRS duration 0.06 seconds)
Step 5. All complexes look the same
All five questions were answered with a “yes”; therefore this is a normal sinus rhythm."

Comment: "Thanks Helen
Easy when you know (where to look!). Chose your answer due to selected word order (inverse of French, of course).
Thanks to Angela too."

Rapid regular RS
The RS refers to the R wave and the S wave in an electro cardio gramme.
The QRS complex is a structure on the ECG that corresponds to the depolarization of the ventricles. you would have to viwe the ECG to see if the RS was postively oe negatively deflected.
check out the wiki on ECGs.

: does not fit the context with 'rapid, regular'

how can you disagree with this version, but agree with rapid regular sinus rhythm?

: I don't understand your comment to Janet//RS as the first finding on an ECG report is highly likely to be rythme sinusal (sinus rhythm). The QRS complex is not likely to be relevant here.

I didn't understand Janet's comment. Simon asked about an ECG report. The Answer is in Wiki.

regular rapid sinus rhythm
RS=rythme sinusal=sinus rhythm (the way the heart normally beats).

as explained in Helen's link, it's probably better (and is at least acceptable) to replace the 'regular' with 'normal'.
