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 rhythm is regular at a rate of 72 beats/min, although the fourth and ninth QRS complexes (*) are associated with a slightly shorter interval (rate 80 beats/min) (Figure 2). The QRS complexes have ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
