P-R interval

the interval from the beginning of the P wave to the beginning of the QRS complex on an electrocardiogram. It represents the atrioventricular conduction time, which normally is between 0.12 and 0.20 second.

P-R interval

In the electrocardiogram, the period between the onset of the P wave and the beginning of the QRS complex.

interval

the space between two objects or parts; the lapse of time between two events. In statistical terms, the numerical distance between two values.

atrioventricular interval, A-V interval

see P-R interval (below).

cardioarterial interval

the time between the apex beat and arterial pulsation.

P-R interval

in electrocardiography, the time between the onset of the P wave (atrial activity) and the QRS complex (ventricular activity).

QRST interval, Q-T interval

the duration of ventricular electrical activity.

P-R

in electrocardiography, refers to the P and R waves.

P-R interval

the period from the beginning of the P wave to the beginning of the QRS complex.

P-R segment

the isoelectric tracing that follows the P wave and ends with the deflection of the Q wave. It represents the delay of the electrical impulse at the atrioventricular node.
