Effect of Age and Heart Rate on the Conduction of the Sinus Node Impulse to the Ventricle

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

The PR interval of the electrocardiogram is made up of the conduction intervals through the atrial muscle, the atrioventricular node, the bundle of His, and the bundle-branch and Purkinje fibers. Knowledge of normal conduction intervals and their relationship to age and sinus cycle length is important for the purpose of defining conduction delays at various sites.
