A member asked:

Is junctional tachycardia a normal finding in the setting of athlete's heart syndrome?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

While junctional rhythm at a rate of 50-60 beats/minute is common in athletes, junctional tachycardia defined sustained junctional beats at a rate greater than 100 beats/minute is NOT a feature of athletes heart. When encountered, it may instead be reciprocating SVT with P waves superimposed on the QRS complexes. Vagal maneuvers may terminate this tachycardia with return to sinus rhythm.
