The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a valuable tool for assessing the cardiac conduction system. The measurements routinely obtained with ECG include heart rate, PR interval, QRS duration and the QT ...
The PR interval is the time from the beginning of the P wave (atrial depolarization) to the beginning of the QRS complex (ventricular depolarization). The normal PR interval measures 0.12-0.20 seconds ...
June 23, 2009 (Boston, Massachusetts) — Prolongation of the PR interval in the ambulatory setting is associated with increased risks of atrial fibrillation, pacemaker implantation, and all-cause ...
The R-R interval is the same as the P-P interval plus whatever change there is in the PR interval. In typical AV Wenckebach phenomenon, the PR intervals increase with decreasing increments and the R-R ...
THE electrocardiographic picture of prolonged QRS-complex duration with short PR interval was the subject of isolated reports 1,2 until Wolff, Parkinson and White 3 described the clinical syndrome of ...
A common electrocardiogram finding that has largely been considered insignificant may actually signal an increased risk of atrial fibrillation, the future need for a permanent pacemaker and an ...
2. Short PR interval and delta waves consistent with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome Explanation: Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome occurs when a person is born with an "accessory pathway" that can ...
June 24 -- TUESDAY, June 23 (HealthDay News) -- A slight abnormality in an electrocardiogram (EKG), until now thought to be insignificant, can be a warning sign of future cardiac problems and an ...
