junctional rhythm heart rate is usually between 40 - 60 beats per minute.

 

 

Junctional Rhytm

In Junctional Rhythms the electrical impulse originates in the AV node.

av node or atrio ventricular node located between the atrium and ventricles. junctional rhythms usually the electrical impulse originate from the av node.

After the electrical impulse originates in the AV node it will then propagate in both directions atrial and ventricular.

junctional rhythm heart rate between 40 and 60 beats per minute

 

The AV node automaticity rate is between 40 - 60 beats per minute. In Junctional Rhythm the expected heart rate should be between 40 - 60 beats per minute.

 

junctional rhythm heart rate is equal 1500 divided by the R-R interval value in small squares

 

According to where the electrical impulse originates in the AV node the P wave may be inverted before the QRS complex, hidden behind the QRS complex or seen after the QRS complex.
