Most commonly it is due to digitalis toxicity...sometime it may be due to AV node block or coronary artery disease. Juctional tachycardia may be precipitated by Hyperkalemia in a patient with conduction system disease.

What is the Difference between junctional tachycardia and accelerated junctional rhythm?
An accelerated junctional rhythm has a heart rate between 60 and 100. Meanwhile, a junctional tachycardia has a heart rate >100.
What causes junctional EB?
The genetic mutations for junctional EB are found in the genes responsible for producing the protein Laminin-5.
What is a Supraventricular event?
A supraventricular tachycardia is tachycardia (heart rate > 100) that originates above the AV node, in the atria. There are several different forms of supraventricular tachycardia, including sinus tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, atrial tachycardia, multifocal atrial tachycardia, and a nebulous condition called paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). Many people also consider junctional tachycardia a supraventricular tachycardia.
What are the different heart rhythms a paramedic would analyze?
Sinus Bradycardia Sinus Tachycardia Sinus Dysrhythmia Sinus Arrest Wondering Pacemaker Premature Atrial Complex Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia Atrial Flutter Atrial Fibrillation Premature Junctional Complex Junctional Escape Complexes or Rhythms Accelerated Junctional Rhythm Ventricular Escape Complexes or Rhythms Premature Ventricular Complex Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) Asystole Artificial Pacemaker Rhythms First Degree AV Block Second Degree AV Block Type 1 (Wenckebach) Second Degree AV Block Type 2 Third Degree AV Block Disturbances of Ventricular Conduction Pulseless Electrical Activity (PEA) Preexcitation Syndrome: Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome Broad complex tachycardia Narrow complex tachycardia
What causes there to be no p wave on an EKG?
Atrial fibrillation, svt , or a junctional rhythm
What part of the heart causes ventricular tachycardia?
AV node
How is junctional epithelium attached to enamel?
The junctional epithelium attaches to enamel by means of internal basal lamina .
Can you be junctional with atrial bigeminy?
Yes
Is Paroxysmal tachycardia the same as unsustained tachycardia?
No, it is not Paroxysmal tachycardia gives you the ability to watch the ``coming and going`` of tachycardia. Unsustained tachycardia has little to no change in rhythm rate.
Is junction a noun?
Yes, "junction" is a noun. It refers to a point where two or more things are joined, such as roads, rivers, or train tracks.
What rhymes with dysfunctional?
Junctional, confrontational, instructional
What heart condition causes fever malaise chest pain that increases with inspiration or heartbeat dyspnea and tachycardia?
Pericarditis
