The Basics Of Prolonged PR Interval

Did you know that there is a condition called prolonged PR interval? This occurs when the time it takes for the electrical impulse to travel from the atria (upper chambers of the heart) to the ventricles (lower chambers of the heart) is longer than average.

What should I know about this?

Several factors, including certain medications, heart conditions, or structural defects in the heart can cause this condition.

Although prolonged interval does not usually cause symptoms, it is essential to seek medical attention if you notice this condition in yourself or a loved one. This condition can sometimes be diagnosed with an electrocardiogram (ECG) and may require further testing and treatment depending on the underlying cause.

If you are experiencing prolonged PR intervals, there are several steps that you can take to manage your condition and promote overall heart health. These might include making dietary changes, adopting an exercise routine, or taking prescribed medications as directed by your doctor.
