Zusammenfassung:This case review presents various manifestations of extra long PR intervals, an interesting form of atrioventricular (AV) block first described in 1977. All patients in this study had organic heart diseases and various combinations of multilevel conduction impairment. Perhaps the most common cause of chronic AV conduction impairment is the ill-defined degenerative and/or fibrotic damage to the intraventricular conduction system.
