B) Absent U wave
C) PR interval 0.30 seconds
D) ST segment isoelectric

Question

A) The PR interval is normally 0.12-0.20 seconds. Intervals greater than 0.20 seconds indicate a delay in conduction from the SA node to the ventricles. A P wave should be smooth and round. The ST segment should be isoelectric. The U wave is not normally seen.
B) The PR interval is normally 0.12-0.20 seconds. Intervals greater than 0.20 seconds indicate a delay in conduction from the SA node to the ventricles. A P wave should be smooth and round. The ST segment should be isoelectric. The U wave is not normally seen.
