If the sinus node fails to generate impulses, the AV junction may assume the role of the pacemaker. This kind of junctional self-pacing is called a junctional escape rhythm. Because the firing rate of the AV junction is 40 to 60 impulses per minute, a junctional escape rhythm is generally slower than the normal sinus rhythm (Figure 19-24).
