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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...
