Short PR interval.
نویسنده
چکیده
A short PR interval may be associated with an otherwise normal electrocardiogram or a myriad of bizarre electrocardiographic abnormalities. Clinically, the individual may be asymptomatic or experience a variety of complex arrhythmias, which may be disabling and rarely cause sudden death. In life insurance applicants, it is important to recognize these abnormalities and to assess their risk appropriately.

Short PR interval and narrow QRS complex associated with pheochromocytoma: electrophysiologic observations.
A patient with a short (0.10 second) PR interval, narrow QRS complex and palpitation is described. Electrophysiologic studies demonstrated the presence of accelerated atrioventricular (AV) nodal conduction. Subsequently, a pheochromocytoma was found. Surgical removal of the tumor resulted in normalization of the PR interval. These findings suggest that the short PR interval and the accelerated ...
متن کاملIntermittent bundle-branch block in patients with accessory atrio-His or atrio-AV nodal pathways. Variants of the Lown-Ganong-Levine syndrome.
Intracardiac electrophysiological studies were performed in two patients with a documented history of repetitive supraventricular tachyarrhythmias. Case 1, with short PR interval and narrow QRS complexes had a short AH interval and intermittent right bundle-branch block. Thus the short PR wide QRS syndrome is not always a result of the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome but can also be seen in the ...
متن کاملRole of PR-Interval In Predicting the Occurrence of Atrial Fibrillation.
The identification of individuals at high risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF) is important to prevent potentially lethal and invalidating complications of this arrhythmia. Recently, several studies have investigated the association between PR-interval and the risk of AF and have tested the value of PR-interval in personalized risk scores for AF. However, the results of these studies are...
متن کاملSudden death in a patient with a short PR interval and subsequent sudden onset of a typical Tako-tsubo pattern
The Tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as transient apical dysfunction, transient apical dyskinesia, stress-induced cardiomyopathy or broken heart syndrome, is a type of nonischemic cardiomyopathy in which there is a sudden temporary weakening of the myocardium. The PR interval reflects the time the electrical impulse takes to travel from the sinus node through the AV node and entering the v...
متن کاملStimulus Pronunciability in Aural Paired-Associate
An experiment was conducted in an attempt to assess the merits of a stimulus availability interpretation of stimulus pronunciability (PR) effects in aural paired-associate learning. Stimulus PR was varied within lists of 8 trigram-adjectlve pairs. The study-test technique was used. The intra-SR interval of study trials was either 2, 4, or 6 sec, thus allowing periods of different length in whic...
