What is an accelerated junctional rhythm?
when the junctional rhythm is between 60-100 BPM
Why is it considered accelerated?
because 60-100 BPM is the ventricular rate, so coming from the AV junction area would mean that it is fast because the normal AV node fires an impulse at 40-60 BPM
Is the rhythm normal?
yes
since the rhythm is normal, what would the accelerated junctional QRS complex resemble?
normal sinus rhythm QRS complex
How will the P wave look?
it will be shown as P’ (inverted)
How do the R-R intervals look?
regular
How does the PRI look?
short, and visible only when P’ comes before the QRS complex
How does the QRS complex look?
regular
In addition to the P’ waveform, the major differences among junctional rhythms is directly related to the _________ of each rhythm.
rate
