Intra-Atrial and Nodal Pathways
Located in atrial tissue between SA and AV nodes
Conducts impulse from SA node - atrial musculature - AV node
Anterior, middle and posterior tracts
Atrioventricular Node (AV Node)
, Delays impulse from atria
Allows for ventricular filling
Protective mechanism against rapid supraventricular impulses
Junctional Tissue
Tissue in lower AV node
Back up pacemaker
Intrinsic rate of 40 - 60 BPM
Bundle of His and Right/Left Bundle Branches
Bundle of His connects AV node to right and left bundle branches
Right bundle carries impulse to right ventricle; left bundle carries impulse to left ventricle
Ventricular Tissue
Back up pacemaker
Intrinsic rate of 20 - 40 BPM
Purkinje System
Distal to the bundle branches
Rapidly conducts impulses to ventricular sub-endocardial layers
Normal PR Interval measurement
0.12 – 0.20 seconds
Normal QRS Complex measurement
0.04 - < 0.12 seconds
Normal QT Interval measurement
< 0.44 seconds
