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 is the junctional arrhythmia?
Junctional arrhythmia refers to a group of heart rhythm disorders that originate from the junctional tissue between the atria and ventricles, specifically the atrioventricular (AV) node. This type of arrhythmia can result in abnormal heart rates, typically characterized by a slower heart rate (bradycardia) due to the disruption of normal electrical conduction. Common forms include junctional escape rhythms and junctional tachycardia. Symptoms may vary from none at all to dizziness or syncope, depending on the severity and underlying cause.
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 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 .
Are Junctional escape rhythms considered lethal dysrhythmias?
Junctional escape rhythms are typically not considered lethal dysrhythmias. They are a type of heart rhythm that occurs when the sinus node fails to fire, allowing the junctional tissue to take over as the pacemaker, usually at a slower rate. While they can indicate an underlying issue with the heart's conduction system, they are generally more stable than other dysrhythmias, such as ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, which can be life-threatening. However, the clinical context is essential, as any dysrhythmia can become dangerous depending on the patient's overall condition.
Can you be junctional with atrial bigeminy?
Yes
What causes there to be no p wave on an EKG?
The absence of a P wave on an EKG could indicate an issue with the electrical impulse formation in the atria of the heart, such as in atrial fibrillation where the atria are not depolarizing in a coordinated manner. Other possible causes include atrial flutter, junctional rhythm, or ectopic atrial beats. Further evaluation by a healthcare professional is necessary to determine the underlying cause.
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.
What is inflamed junctional mucosa?
Inflamed junctional mucosa refers to inflammation occurring at the junction where the gums and the lining of the mouth meet. This can be caused by poor oral hygiene, smoking, certain medications, or systemic diseases. Treatment usually involves improving oral hygiene, using anti-inflammatory mouthwash, and addressing any underlying causes.
