It is a built-in rate at which it initiates electical impulses, meaning that the AV node has a rate range at which it usually produces impulses.
AV junction has a rate of 40-60.
40-60 beats per minute
fewer than 40 bpm
The intrinsic rate of the AV node, also known as the inherent pacemaker rate, is the rate at which the AV node generates electrical impulses when not influenced by outside factors. It is typically around 40-60 beats per minute and serves as a backup pacemaker if the SA node fails to function properly. The AV node's intrinsic rate helps to regulate the heart rate and maintain cardiac function.
The AV junction, or atrioventricular junction, is a critical area in the heart where electrical signals are transmitted between the atria and ventricles. It consists of the atrioventricular node (AV node) and the surrounding conductive tissue, playing a vital role in coordinating the timing of heartbeats. The AV junction ensures that the atria contract before the ventricles, allowing for efficient blood flow through the heart. Dysfunction in this area can lead to various types of heart block or arrhythmias.
The AV junction consists of the atrioventricular node (AV node) and the His-Purkinje system. The AV node is located near the tricuspid valve and acts as a gateway for electrical signals from the atria to the ventricles. The His-Purkinje system helps to rapidly transmit these signals to the ventricles, allowing for coordinated contraction of the heart chambers.
Atrioventricular (AV) junction delay refers to a delay in the conduction of electrical impulses through the AV node, which connects the atria and ventricles of the heart. This delay can affect the timing of heartbeats, potentially leading to arrhythmias or other cardiac issues. It is often assessed using an electrocardiogram (ECG) and can be caused by various factors, including medications, ischemia, or structural heart disease. Monitoring and managing AV junction delay are crucial for maintaining effective heart function.

sure of coarse it can ................ !
my hear rate go up when i am up moving around
interest rate and unable to pay repayments
