Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to HCM. I understand your concern. Thank you for your question.

I will try to remain as professional as the question is. I am sorry for the abuse in your relationship, but I will explain the findings of the EKG.

I may assume that the most worrisome thing to you is the interpretation of the EKG, which says that the PR interval is short. Well, it is not short, and it takes a little more evidence to be called as such. You see, the digital interpretation of the EKG was made mostly to orientate general physicians to a serious, "dangerous" diagnosis, such as infarction, which this is not the case. A PR interval of 96 miliseconds is not considered short without additional data. All I can see is a normal EKG of a 32-year old, male or female.

However, if this is keeping you worried, a 24-hour Holter rhythm monitor is recommended just to exclude, to free you from worrying, any pathological phenomena that could happen to this heart. This is because, if the PR interval is pathollogically short (the probability is lowest), then during 24 hours, and episode to depict this abnormality, will happen.

I hope this is helpful. I am happy to help, if you have follow-up questions.

Best regards,
Dr. Meriton
