A junctional rhythm occurs when the electrical activation of the heart originates near or within the atrioventricular node, rather than from the sinoatrial node. Because the normal ventricular ...

Upgrading to a biventricular device may be considered for patients with heart failure and an RV pacing system who have undergone AV node ablation. In concordance with guidelines, our practice ...

Junctional bradycardia occurs when the electrical impulse to start the heartbeat begins in the atrioventricular (AV) node rather than in the SA node. The AV node is a structure at the bottom of ...

In normal individuals, when the sinus node creates an action potential it must pass through the AV node to get to the ventricles. When an accessory pathway is present, the sinus node action ...

Atrioventricular junction ablation with permanent pacemaker ... be beneficial in selected populations after atrioventricular node ablation. The limitations of this approach include continued ...
