Junctional Premature Beat

ECG Features

Figure 1: ECG Strip[1]

A junctional premature beat or premature junctional complex (PJC) is "a premature beat arising from an ectopic focus within the AV junction."[2] Premature contractions are classified by their origin: atrial (PACs), junctional (PJCs), or ventricular (PVCs).
