A member asked:

Can you tell me if an ekg shows a long delay between the p wave and the qrs complex, which type of cardiac tissue might have?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

AV block: A PR interval of >200 milliseconds is indicative of atrio-ventricular (AV) block. If a QRS always follows, it's 1st degree. If a QRS sometimes drops, it's 2nd degree. If there's no relationship of P wave to QRS complexes, it's 3rd degree. In all cases, there is conduction system disease present.
