-==Overview==
-Junctional bradycardia is a slow (40 to 60 beats per minute) narrow complex escape rhythm that originates in the [[atrioventricular node]] to compensate for slow or impaired conduction of pacemaker activity in the atrium.
-==Pathophysiology==
+{{CMG}}; {{AE}} {{M.P}}
-Normally, the [[atrioventricular node]] ([[AVN]]) can generate an escape rhythm of 40-60 beats per minute in case the [[sinoatrial node]] ([[SA node]]) or atrial pacemakers fail ([[sinus arrest]]) or slow ([[sinus bradycardia]]) or if there is [[complete heart block]].  This [[junctional escape rhythm]] generates a normal, narrow [[QRS complex]] rhythm at a rte below 60 beats per minute ([[junctional bradycardia]]) as the electrical impulses once they are generated are conducted with normal velocity down the usual pathways.  [[Retrograde P waves]] (i.e. upside down) [[P waves]] due to retrograde or backward conduction may or may not be present.
