How Fast Is a Junctional Rhythm

A junctional rhythm is normally slow — less than 60 beats per minute. When faster, it is referred to as an accelerated junctional rhythm.

How fast can a junctional rhythm go?

Junction escape rhythm: rate 40 to 60 beats per minute. Accelerated junctional rhythm: rate of 60 to 100 beats per minute.

Is accelerated junctional an SVT?

Accelerated AV junctional rhythm also called nonparoxysmal AV junctional tachycardia (NPJT) is a form of SVT and is caused by enhanced impulse formation within the AV junction rather than by reentry. This arrhythmia is usually due to recent aortic or mitral valve surgery, acute MI, or digitalis toxicity.
