Brief Answer:
Needs evaluation

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

After reviewing the ECG report attached by you I would like to tell you that there is prolonged PR interval which signifies 1 degree AV block. Although the chances of progression of 1st degree to high grade Av block requiring a pacemaker is very less but requires evaluation.

An echocardiogram and a Holter monitoring is advisable.

Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap
