Junctional rhythm, also called nodal rhythm[2] describes an abnormal heart rhythm resulting from impulses coming from a locus of tissue in the area of the atrioventricular node (AV node), [3] …

If the complex is late, it is called a junctional escape beat. To determine if a complex is early or late, we need to see at least two beats in a row of the underlying rhythm to establish its regularity.

May 29, 2025 · Junctional arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms that begin in the area around the atrioventricular (AV) node. The AV node is a part of the heart’s electrical system that …

Feb 18, 2025 · 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 …

Junctional rhythms are common in patients with sick sinus syndrome or in patients who have significant bradycardia that allows the AV nodal region to determine the heart rate.

The most common rhythm arising in the AV node is junctional rhythm, which may also be referred to as junctional escape rhythm. Junctional tachycardia is less common.

Mar 29, 2023 · 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 …

A junctional rhythm is a type of arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). If you have a junctional rhythm, your heart’s natural pacemaker, known as your sinoatrial (SA) node, isn’t working as it should.

Aug 4, 2025 · A junctional rhythm is a type of abnormal heartbeat, or arrhythmia. It is usually not serious, although it can be associated with heart inflammation or recent heart surgery.

Dec 18, 2025 · Junctional rhythm is characterized by a heart rate that is typically between 40 to 60 beats per minute, which is slower than the normal resting heart rate. This rhythm occurs …
