II. Definitions
- PR Interval
- Duration from the START of the P Wave to the start of the QRS Complex
- Represents electrical conduction from atrial depolarization to the start of ventricular depolarization
- PR Segment
- Duration from the END of the P Wave to the start of the QRS Complex
III. Findings: Normal
- PR Segment is Isoelectric
- Interval: 0.12 to 0.20
IV. Causes: Prolonged PR Interval
- AV Node Block
- Hyperthyroidism (occasional)
- Normal variant (rarely)
V. Causes: Shortened PR Interval
- Wolf-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW Syndrome)
- Always look closely for a Delta Wave in Short PR Interval
- AV nodal rhythm (Junctional Rhythm)
- Low atrial nodal rhythm
- Lown-Ganong-Levine (LGL)
- Hypertension
- Normal variant
VI. Causes: PR Depression
- Myocardial Infarction involving atrium
- Acute Pericarditis (also with downsloping TP segment)
