Rhythms

Atrial Fibrillation + Complete Heart Block · Junctional Escape

Fibrillatory baseline without P waves or organized atrial contraction, with a regular narrow junctional escape. No ventricular irregularity from AF while conduction is completely blocked.

Overview

Open Clinical controls → Baseline vitals → Rhythm and choose Atrial Fibrillation + Complete Heart Block · Junctional Escape. The rate and atrial/ventricular timing follow this rhythm’s model.

Fibrillatory baseline without P waves or organized atrial contraction, with a regular narrow junctional escape. No ventricular irregularity from AF while conduction is completely blocked.

The disease state remains active. Disease morphology, treatment and temporary pacing can modify the displayed result; use the effective rate and the current twelve-lead read.

Step by step

  1. Select the rhythm, then adjust Ventricular rate if required.
  2. Compare Lead II, V1 and the arterial pulse.
  3. Open 12-lead ECG; use Variant or Next variant, then Pause → Interpretation.
