Junctional and ventricular escape rhythms arise when the rate of supraventricular impulses arriving at the AV node or ventricle is less than the intrinsic rate of the ectopic pacemaker. Conditions leading to the emergence of a junctional or ventricular escape rhythm include:

Junctional escape rhythm is a regular rhythm with a frequency of around 40–60 beats per minute. In case of sinus arrest (or any scenario in which atrial impulses do not reach the atrioventricular node), junctional escape rhythm may be life-saving.
A junctional rhythm is a heart rhythm problem that can make your heartbeat too slow or too fast. If you have a junctional rhythm, you may not have any symptoms. But sometimes, this condition can make you feel faint, weak or out of breath.
5 lut 2023 · A junctional rhythm is an abnormal heart rhythm that originates from the AV node or His bundle. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of junctional rhythm and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in educating patients about their prognosis.
8 lis 2021 · Junctional escape beats originate in the AV junction and are late in timing. They often occur during sinus arrest or after premature atrial complexes. The QRS complex will be measured at 0.10 sec or less. Rhythm will be regular with a rate of 40-60 bpm. This abnormal rhythm originates in the bundle of His.
Junctional rhythm can be diagnosed by looking at an ECG: it usually presents without a P wave or with an inverted P wave. Retrograde, or inverted, P waves refers to the depolarization from the AV node back towards the SA node.
8 paź 2024 · Accelerated junctional rhythm (AJR) occurs when the rate of an AV junctional pacemaker exceeds that of the sinus node. This situation arises when there is increased automaticity in the AV node coupled with decreased automaticity in the sinus node.
