Figure 3 The R-P interval, measured from serial electrocardiograms, is plotted against age in 9 patients presenting during the first 2 years of life. The R-P interval is plotted serially for each subject. The curve describes the trend in the R-P interval at points during childhood and adolescence. Note the increase in R-P interval with increasing age in patients with PJRT, and the similarity of this increase with that of the PJRT cycle length, suggesting that the slowing of conduction retrograde in the accessory pathway accounts, for the most part, for the prolongation of the PJRT cycle length.
