- A no P wave rhythm on an electrocardiogram (EKG) can indicate the following conditions123:
- Agonal rhythm: A heart rate of less than 20 beats per minute.
- Sinus dysfunction: Lack of visible P waves preceding QRS complexes.
- Fibrillation or flutter waves: P wave may be hidden within the QRS complex.
- Pulseless electrical activity: Complete P, QRS, and T waveforms but no palpable pulse.

Junctional Rhythm: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment - Cleveland …
- A junctional rhythm is a type of arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat). If you have a junctional rhythm, your heart’s natural pacemaker, known as your sinoatrial (SA) node, isn’t working as it should. Your SA node sends electrical signals that control your heartbeat. When you have a junctional rhythm, your SA node stops working or sends signals that are...

Junctional rhythm - Wikipedia
Junctional rhythm can be diagnosed by looking at an ECG: it usually presents without a P wave or with an inverted P wave. Retrograde, or inverted, P waves refers to the depolarization from the …
Junctional Escape Rhythm • LITFL • ECG Library Diagnosis
Junctional and ventricular escape rhythms arise when the rate of supraventricular impulses arriving at the AV node or ventricle is less than the intrinsic rate of the ectopic pacemaker. Conditions leading to the emergence of a junctional or …

No P waves. P waves are AFTER the QRS, superimposed in the ST segment (a little bit hard to see). PR interval is "not applicable". Rate is faster than "normal" AV node, so this is another "accelerated junctional" rhythm. P waves are not …
