{{Information | |||
|Description = This is an electrocardiogram, a 64 year-old man with a history of coronary artery disease. The patient was taking amiodarone , metoprolol , and Vasotec at the time of this recording. This was a routine recording. | |||
The electrocardiogram shows sinus rhythm with a prolonged P wave > 120 milliseconds. | |||
The P wave is notched in the inferior leads. This is consistent with a left atrial abnormality. The PR interval is long at 200 milliseconds and is diagnostic of first-degree heart block. | |||
The Q waves in the Interior leads suggest an inferior wall infarction . | |||
