A junctional rhythm is typically regular. In the context of a heart with atrial fibrillation, if there is a regular rhythm present, it is often due to a junctional escape rhythm. This occurs when the atria are not sending impulses to the ventricles, possibly due to a complete heart block, and the junctional tissue (the area between the atria and ventricles) takes over to maintain a regular heartbeat.

The combination of atrial fibrillation with a regular rhythm (��regularised AF��) indicates that none of the atrial impulses are conducted to the ventricles, i.e. complete heart block is present. The narrow complex rhythm is therefore a junctional escape rhythm.
