An AV junctional tachycardia is a tachycardia resulting from regular frequent firing (60-100 bpm) of the AV-node. It has the characteristics of a small QRS with a retrograde or no P-wave. The P-wave is not always visible because it can be hidden in the QRS complex. If it is visible it is negative in the inferior leads and narrow, suggesting an AV-nodal origin. The small QRS is not preceded by a p-wave as atrium and ventricle are activated | An AV junctional tachycardia is a tachycardia resulting from regular frequent firing (60-100 bpm) of the AV-node.
