ECG Interpretation
Develop interpretation skills in ECG Basics, analyze 12-lead tracings in ECG Library, and advance proficiency in ECG Reviews.
PR Interval
The time from the beginning of the P wave, indicating atrial depolarization, to the beginning of the QRS complex, representing ventricular depolarization, is the PR interval.
PR Segment
The PR segment is the portion of the ECG from the end of the P wave to the beginning of the QRS complex. The PR segment is different from the PR interval, which is measured in units of time.

The most serious form of the acute coronary syndrome, ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, or STEMI, most often results from complete thrombotic occlusion of a major epicardial coronary artery.
The acute coronary syndromes include unstable angina, non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction and ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. The terms “transmural,” “non-transmural,” “Q wave MI” and “non-Q wave MI” have fallen out of favor.
