Schematic representation of a normal sinus rhythm EKG wave. In electrocardiography, the PR interval is the period, measured in milliseconds, that extends from the beginning of the P wave (the onset of atrial depolarization) until the beginning of the QRS complex (the onset of ventricular depolarization); it is normally between 120 and 200 ms in duration.
There are 6 different sinus arrhythmia. [1] [2]A normal heart should have a normal sinus rhythm, this rhythm can be identified by a ventricular rate of 60-100 bpm, at a regular rate, with a normal PR interval (0.12 to 0.20 second) and a normal QRS complex (0.12 second and less).
The normal PR interval is from 120 ms to 200 ms in length. This is measured from the initial deflection of the P wave to the beginning of the QRS complex. [3] In first-degree heart block, the AV node conducts the electrical activity more slowly. This is seen as a PR interval greater than 200 ms in length on the surface ECG.
The interval from the start of the P wave to the start of the QRS complex is called the ‘PR interval’, and is normally between 120 and 200 milliseconds or 3-5 tiny boxes on the graph paper that it’s usually printed out on since each box is 40 milliseconds or 0.04 seconds.
Electrocardiography is the process of producing an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG [a]), a recording of the heart's electrical activity through repeated cardiac cycles. [4] It is an electrogram of the heart which is a graph of voltage versus time of the electrical activity of the heart [ 5 ] using electrodes placed on the skin.
Normal heart rate (classically 60 to 100 beats per minute for an adult). Regular rhythm, with less than 0.16-second variation in the shortest and longest durations between successive P waves The sinus node should pace the heart – therefore, P waves must be round, all the same shape, and present before every QRS complex in a ratio of 1:1.
sinus bradycardia: normal rhythm, slow rate; atrioventricular block. first degree: prolonged PR interval (> 0.20 seconds) second degree. mobitz type I (wenckebach): progressive lengthening of PR interval then dropped beat (p wave with no QRS) mobitz type II: equal PR intervals with intermittent dropped beats (p wave with no QRS)
Heart rate variability visualized with R-R interval changes Electrocardiogram (ECG) recording of a canine heart that illustrates beat-to-beat variability in R–R interval (top) and heart rate (bottom). Heart rate variability (HRV) is the physiological phenomenon of variation in the time interval between heartbeats. It is measured by the ...
