Accelerated Junctional Rhythm ECG Interpretation #314


Description

  • Accelerated junctional rhythm is just a faster version of junctional escape rhythm. The criteria is the same with the only difference being the heart rate range is 60 – 100 bpm.
  • Note the heart rate range. It is the same as the range for normal sinus rhythm.
  • When considering the heart is a pump and if everything else is functioning properly, we should expect a patient with accelerated junctional rhythm to display signs of normal cardiac output i.e. alert and oriented, normotensive, without apparent signs of distress.
