Understanding Junctional Rhythms

The video introduces Junctional Rhythms, a type of heart dysrhythmia, and explains the heart's conduction system, including the SA node, AV node, and Purkinje fibers. It covers the inherent heart rates generated by different cardiac cells and details the characteristics of Junctional Rhythms, such as the typical heart rate of 40-60 beats per minute and the hallmark inverted or absent P wave. The video also discusses various classifications of Junctional Rhythms, including Accelerated Junctional Rhythm, Junctional Tachycardia, and Junctional Bradycardia, based on heart rate variations. The video concludes with a call to action for viewers to engage on social media.
