PJC's are more common than PACs or PVCs
FALSE
A PJC produces a positive (upright) P wave in leads II, III, and aVF that comes before, during, or after the QRS complex
FALSE
The intrinsic rate of the AV junction is 20 to 40 bpm
FALSE
The term junctional bradycardia is used to describe a rhythm that is junctional in origin with?
A ventricular rate slower than 40 bpm
A __________ pause often follows a PJC and represents the delay during which the SA node resets its rhythm for the next beat?
Non-compensatory (incomplete)
In rhythms originating from the AV junction, the QRS duration is typically __________ or less unless an intra-ventricular conduction delay exists?
0.11 seconds
An accelerated junctional rhythm is identified by a regular ventricular response occurring at a rate of?
61 to 100 bpm
The primary waveform used to differentiate PJCs from PACs is the?
P wave
In a junctional rhythm viewed in lead II, where is the location of the P wave on the ECG if ventricular depolarization precedes atrial depolarization?
After the QRS complex
Lower part of the right atrium, above the base of the tricuspid valve
Location of the AV node
Name given to a dysrhythmia that originates in the AV junction with a ventricular rate between 101 and 180 bpm?
Junctional Tachycardia
Upper part of the inter-ventricular septum?
Location of the bundle of HIS
Location of the P wave on the ECG if atrial and ventricular depolarization occurs simultaneouly
Hidden within the QRS complex (not viable)
Term formerly used for dysrhythmias that originates in the AV junction
Nodal rhythms
A beat originating within the AV junction that appears earlier than the next expected sinus beat
Premature junctional complex
