Q

The PR interval is the time from the start of P wave to R wave, which is atrial depolarisation to the start of ventricular depolarisation. What is the normal duration range for the PR interval?

1 small square = 0.04 seconds
1 large square = 0.2 seconds

1 - 0.12 - 0.22 seconds
2 - 0.36 - 0.44 seconds
3 - 0.06 - 12 seconds
4 - <0.20 seconds

A

1 - 0.12 - 0.22 seconds
