Question 6: - P - wave is normal - *** PR interval prolonged
(>0.20 sec) - QRS will be normal (0.06-0.10 sec)
CORRECT ANSWER : 1st Degree Heart Block

longer (>0.20 sec) - ***QRS complex will usually be normal (0.06-0.10 sec) UNTIL IT IS MISSED, then the cycle repeated
CORRECT ANSWER : 2nd Degree Heart Block (Type 1)
Question 8: - P wave is normal *** can and often does
