Junctional rhythm is a type of irregular heart rhythm originating from the atrioventricular junction. Learn more about it, including its types, symptoms, causes, and more.
An accelerated junctional rhythm occurs when the heart’s atrioventricular node beats too quickly. Damage to the heart’s primary natural pacemaker causes it.
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 ...

Idioventricular Rhythm Cardiac Effects
It's a type of arrhythmia, meaning the heart rhythm isn't happening in the normal way. Idioventricular rhythm may be seen ...
Junctional tachycardia occurs when your heart rate is faster than normal due to an issue in the upper and lower heart chambers. Learn about this condition and its treatment today.
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 ...
Clinically, junctional rhythm can have different causes. The authors of this article report on a case of bicuspid aortic valve accompanied by sinoatrial node dysfunction.
Because the rate of the QRS complexes is faster than the atrial rate, this is sinus bradycardia with an accelerated junctional rhythm.
A junctional rhythm occurs when the sinoatrial node (SA node) is not able to generate an action potential and the atrioventricular node (AV node) acts as the main pacemaker of the heart.
A 31-year-old woman with no significant medical history presents with intermittent heart palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, and fatigue provoked by exercise. Can you make the diagnosis?
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 ...
Episodes of the sustained ectopic activity were interspersed with periods of the junctional escape rhythm (e, bottom) because of their similar rates.
