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.
My physician mentioned a possible fix (ablation) to attempt to correct an 'Accelerated Junctional Arrhythmia' in addition to me already having a Pacemaker to support my 'Complete AV Heart Block'. He did not go into detail, and we will re visit this discussion in the coming week. He says it may not be any easy procedure. Exactly what type of ablation is he talking about about and what could he have possibly meant by this procedure not being too easy?
An accelerated junctional rhythm has a heart rate between 60 and 100. Meanwhile, a junctional tachycardia has a heart rate >100.
The junctional epithelium attaches to enamel by means of internal basal lamina .
The genetic mutations for junctional EB are found in the genes responsible for producing the protein Laminin-5.
Yes
You will have to list which arrhythmia.
Junctional, confrontational, instructional
An arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat.
No. You can not get an arrhythmia from another person.
P waves occur from the sinoatrial node and indicate the atrial component of a heart rate. Junctional rhythms occur when the AV node (below the sinoatrial node) takes over. Therefore, in most junctional rhythms there are no p waves.
Arrhythmia is the term for a medical ailment of the heart, so it is a noun.ex. "The patient was admitted at 6:37 AM with arrhythmia and labored breathing."ex. "What are the primary characteristics of arrhythmia?"
That is the correct spelling of "arrhythmia" (irregular heartbeat).
