EKG Findings
- P wave be either:
- Absent
- Abnormal P wave with short PR < 120ms
- Retrograde P waves, which may be inverted, in inferior leads
- PJC arrives before next sinus beat
- Followed by compensatory pause
- From AV node region, with ventricular response usually normal, so QRS complexes usually narrow
- If conduction abnormal, may have RBBB morphology
Clinical Significance
- Less common than PVCs or PACs
- Differentiate from WPW
- May be seen in healthy individuals with no clinical significance
- Or in pathology such as valvular disease, drug toxicity, electrolyte disorder
