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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

This is an accelerated junctional rhythm and P wave activity can be seen at the end of the QRS complexes in lead I and lead III. The QT is quite prolonged. This ECG was from a patient with genetic ...

The correct diagnosis is atrial rhythm with AV dissociation and accelerated junctional rhythm (Figure 2). Figure 2. Courtesy of Philip J. Podrid, MD. The rhythm is regular at a rate of 96 beats/min, ...

Not all ECG tracings are clear cut and textbook quality. This ECG is a bit vague in a couple ways. There is some baseline artifact making it difficult to see if there is truly P wave activity. There ...

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 ...
