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.
