if a cardiologist tells you that you have a short pr interval what does that mean?

The PR interval represents the time from the onset of atrial depolarization to the onset of ventricular depolarization. It is a measured time on the surface ekg. A short PR interval may also occur as a normal variant, although it is much more common in the pediatric population and at faster heart rates. In itself it is not dangerous.

Could be heart arrhythmia, irregular heart beat which is usually begnine.  If you are very worried you should consult your doctor.

Does your heart beat funny for a second or two?  If so, I get that.  It's related to anxiety and stress.  I also got it a lot when I smoked or drank caffeine.  Call your doc and make sure it's nothing serious though.

It could be dangerous.  I had an aunt who had to have a pacemaker put in because her heart beat was too low.  \n\nIf you had it tested, what did the doctor recommend?

I have taken numerous cardiac classes and would like to help you, but I need more information. What do you mean "working off 60% of its power"? Did your specialist measure your MABP? If you'd like to give me more info so I can help you out you can e-mail me @ mary.edwards4543@my.sinclair.edu

Call your doctor in the a.m.   There is so much info out there that is wrong.  And what it means in one person's situation doesn't mean it in the next person's situation.  You might worry over nothing if someone tells you something is awry.  You might also get shocked when you go to the dr. if someone tells you it means you're ok.  So, my answer is don't worry and call your doctor.

I also have MVP.  In my case, the person doing the ECG showed me the fault.  I was able to see the valve failing and allowing blood to flow in the wrong direction.  I'd get another ECG done and request to see the result.  It should be easy as it's just a matter of having them point it out to you on the screen.  I wish you all the best!

Was this a "self test" or one supervised by a doctor or cardiologist?  If it's a self test I would advise you to see a doctor before getting on a treadmill again.  In fact, see a doctor anyway.  That's a very high blood pressure.  An increase in diastolic blood pressure of more than 10 mmHg (optimal is <120) during or after exercise represents an unstable form of hypertension, and may be associated with coronary artery disease.  At 236 you could be classified as well above third stage hypertension.  Really, see a doctor.

Yes, it's too high.  Here's a chart:\nhttp://health.yahoo.com/ency/healthwise/hw62787\n\nYou have a LOT of health problems (looking at your past questions).  You REALLY need to see your doctor.  With that blood pressure and your history of "mini strokes".....you need to be seen right away.  Call them now.

a percentage sample was taken.\nprobably at multiple places and multiple times to determine a "peak" sample.\nhow does a nurse or doctor know what your heart rate is?\nThey check for 15 seconds and then mulitply by 4.\nThey didn't get the actual count for 60 seconds, but a sample and they projected.

When your heart stops for the smallest of time.  A passionate kiss, an orgasm or anticipation in general.\n\nUsually used to describe good things.

In most of the cases this a benign condition. In fact it is mostly discovered during routine tests.Unless and untill MVP (mitral valve prolapse) significantly alters haemodynamics, which is quite rare, its of not much clinincal significance.Although studies indicate that people who have it are prone to  emotional swings.Anatomically one of the cusps of the MV prolapses in the diastole due to no. of reasons.Please leave all you worries to the doctors and just forget about it. Better be proud of it rather than thinking and getting worried! MVP makes u a little different frm other people!!

It is hard to understand an EKG (a series of lines sent by the electrisity in the heart) unless you are trained. The doctor explained it and you are verry lucky to be getting in to see a cardiologist in a week (it can take a month depending on where you live) The cardiologist will probably do another one and can explain it more, you would need to go through a lot of training or see a doctor to get another explaination or information.

You may have PSVT which is a fast heart rate. It is very annoying and is scary when you feel it. It is treatable though. Do you drink /eat a lot of caffiene? (Cokes, tea coffee, chocolate?) Ask your doctor to put a Holter Monitor on you and see if anything shows up there. It is a 24 hour monitor you wear and it monitors your heart.  Good luck!
