Overview

PR interval below its normal interval of 0.10 to 0.21 seconds is called as short PR interval. Although short PR interval may be a normal variant, it has also been noted in numerous clinical conditions like cardiomyopathy, mitral valve prolapse, Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, Pompe disease, Fabry disease etc. It is also seen in a number of electrophysiological disorders including preexcitation syndrome, premature atrial beats, ectopic atrial rhythms and AV junctional rhythms.
