junctional rhythm

Junctional rhythms (if a bradycardia), can cause decreased cardiac output.

Bradycardia, junctional rhythm and asystole, all of which may be life-threatening, can be induced through this reflex.

An accelerated junctional rhythm or bidirectional ventricular tachycardia suggests digoxin toxicity until proven otherwise.

In overdose, fluoxetine has been reported to cause sinus tachycardia, myocardial infarction, junctional rhythms and trigeminy.

Such as various types of bradycardia like sinus bradycardia, AV dissociation and junctional rhythms.

It may cause AV junctional rhythm and ectopic beats (bigeminy) resulting in ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation.

Junctional rhythm can be diagnosed by looking at an EKG: it usually presents without a P wave or with an inverted P wave.

In junctional rhythm, however, the sinoatrial node does not control the heart's rhythm - this can happen in the case of a block in conduction somewhere along the pathway described above.

Junctional rhythm describes an abnormal heart rhythm resulting from impulses coming from a locus of tissue in the area of the atrioventricular node, the "junction" between atria and ventricles.

In the case of a junctional rhythm, the atria will actually still contract before the ventricles; however, this does not happen by the normal pathway and instead is due to retrograde conduction (conduction comes from the ventricles or from the AV node into and through the atria).
