Junctional Rhythm: Fusion Trigeminy
Report:
Junctional rhythm 65/min
Left bundle branch block
VEBs in trigeminy, late-diastolic
Ventricular fusion beats
Comment:
The junctional focus appears protected from the VEBs; the pauses are fully compensatory. The morphology of the junctional beats is that of a true LBBB; a similar idioventricular rhythm would have a slurred S descent in this lead (MCL1)
Because the VEBs are so late, some junctional beats contribute to ventricular activation, producing fusion complexes (last upright complex in the upper strip and all three in the middle strip). These VEBs may well be arising from the distal (unblocked) part of the left bundle branch. The LBBB rS and the VEB qR complexes retain, in fusion beats, the initial Q of the VEBs. 165.
