You’re looking at a multiple-choice question from QBank Prepper (the newest of four distinct learning formats available in Clinical Odyssey). Try it out, and have fun improving your clinical skills.
An 18-year-old man is seen at a university clinic in South Florida for a pre-participation sports physical. He was on the cross-country track team in high school. He has been in good health, reports no symptoms, and denies recent travel out of the area. The physical examination is within normal limits. A routine electrocardiogram (ECG) is obtained and shows a heart rate of 58 and a PR interval of 300 milliseconds. The ECG is otherwise within normal limits.
Which of the following is the most likely cause of the prolonged P-R interval?
