Pr interval

Today I found out how to read an EKG. While some people might say that kind of skill should require 13 years of preparatory school, four years of college, four years of medical school and a specialty in cardiac electrophysiology, I say…Pshaw! It’s not rocket science! If it were, there would be more combustion and potential for speedy projectiles gone [...]

heart conduction conductivity PR interval QRS complex T wave

🫀 TYPES of HEART BLOCKS 🫀 1st degree= prolonged PR interval, that's all! 2nd degree type ONE (aka Wenckebach)= PR intervals progressively lengthen until the QRS is dropped completely- hence the poem "longer,longer, longer DROP" 2nd degree type TWO (aka Mobitz II)= PR intervals stay the same and a QRS is just randomly dropped, no progressive lengthening 3rd degree= P and QRS complexes are marching to the beat of their own drum

In 1930, Wolff, Parkinson, and White described the combination of bundlebranch block, shortened PR interval, and recurrent episodes of tachycardia that occurred in young, healthy patients with structurally normal hearts. This combination of electrocardiographic (ECG) findings described the ventricular pre-excitation syndrome known as the Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. In WPW, an accessory pathway connects the atrial […]
