So again, differentiating different rhythms is understanding what to look for. So a sinus rhythm is going to have a P wave followed by a QRS complex and a T wave. And this is going to be repetitive. A junctional rhythm, because it originates from the AV node and not the sinus node, is not going to have the P wave. So you're going to see a straight line QRS complex T wave. Straight line, QRS complex, T wave. So that's the difference between the two.
