Ventricular tachycardia. Other etiologies include hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, mitral valve prolapse, drug toxicity (digoxin, antiarrhythmics, or sympathomimetics), hypoxia, hypokalemia, and hyperkalemia.

4. Replete potassium levels to greater than 4 mEq/L to increase myocardial membrane stability. Junctional Rhythms Clinical Features In patients with sinus bradycardia, SA node exit block or AV block, junctional escape beats may occur, usually at a rate between 40 and 60 beats/ min, depending on the level of the rescue pacemaker within the conduction system. Junctional escape beats may conduct retrogradely into the atria, but the QRS complex usually will mask any retrograde P wave (Fig. 2-9). When alternating rhythmically with the SA node, junctional escape beats may cause bigeminal or trigeminal rhythms.

The ventricles are paced by an escape pacemaker from the AV node or infranodal conduction system at a rate slower than the atrial rate (Fig. 2-17). When third-degree AV block occurs at the AV node, a junctional escape pacemaker takes over with a ventricular rate of 40 to 60 beats/min; and, because the rhythm originates from above the bifurcation of the His bundle, the QRS complexes are narrow. Nodal third-degree AV block may develop in up to 8% of acute inferior MIs and it is usually transient, although it may last for several days.
