Junctional rhythm is an irregular heart rhythm that stems from a natural pacemaker in the heart known as the atrioventricular junction. The heart has several built-in pacemakers that help control its ...

Having an accelerated junctional rhythm occurs when the atrioventricular node in your heart beats too quickly. It happens as a result of damage to your heart’s primary natural pacemaker. There’s no ...

A junctional escape rhythm is when the heartbeat starts in a different part of the heart than it should. This type of arrhythmia may not need treatment, but a doctor does need to investigate the ...

A junctional rhythm occurs when the electrical activation of the heart originates near or within the atrioventricular node, rather than from the sinoatrial node. Because the normal ventricular ...

The compensatory pause after the PVC is slightly longer than the junctional escape interval and allows the junctional rhythm to escape for 5 beats. During this period, the P waves from the sinus ...

The correct diagnosis is sinus bradycardia, AV dissociation, and accelerated junctional rhythm and occasional capture (Figure 2). The other QRS complexes occur at a regular interval and a rate of 42 ...

Background A routine sports evaluation identified constant alternation between a junctional and idioventricular rhythm in a 9-year-old child. During exercise testing, electrography demonstrated that ...

The rhythm is either sinus rhythm or not sinus rhythm. Sinus rhythm refers to the origination of the electrical activity coming from the sinus node — also known as the sinoatrial node, or SA node.

What Is a Normal Sinus Rhythm? Normal sinus rhythm is when your heart beats in a regular, organized way. Your body has a built-in pacemaker called the sinoatrial (SA) node, or sinus node. It uses ...
