Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A premature beat arising from the AV junction is called a PJC (premature junctional complex). This is because it originates from the junction between the atria and the ventricles, also known as the AV (atrioventricular) junction. PAC (premature atrial complex) originates from the atria, junctional escape beat is a normal beat that occurs when the sinus node fails to fire or is blocked, and PVC (premature ventricular complex) originates from the ventricles.
