Synonyms and keywords: Isorhythmic AV dissociation

Overview

Isorhythmic AV dissociation is a AV dissociation initiated by slowing of SA node due to sinus arrhythmia, sinus bradycardia, sinus arrest, or sinoatrial exit block due to bradycardia. This allows an independent ventricular pacemaker response like either junctional (giving a normal or near normal QRS appearance and duration) or idioventricular (with a more bizarre, wide QRS) rhythm to take over the ventricles. In the presence of some degree of antegrade and retrograde atrioventricular block, there is a synchronization of independently beating sinus or atrial pacemaker with the junctional or ventricular pacemaker such that each discharges in the absolute refractory period of the other.

+Isorhythmic AV dissociation is a AV dissociation initiated by slowing of SA node due to sinus arrhythmia, sinus bradycardia, sinus arrest, or sinoatrial exit block due to bradycardia.  This allows an independent ventricular pacemaker response like either junctional (giving a normal or near normal QRS appearance and duration) or idioventricular (with a more bizarre, wide QRS) rhythm to take over the ventricles.  In the presence of some degree of antegrade and retrograde atrioventricular block, there is a synchronization of independently beating sinus or atrial pacemaker with the junctional or ventricular pacemaker such that each discharges in the absolute refractory period of the other.
