We see the EKG of an 81-year-old patient with a pacemaker; the PM was briefly deactivated to assess the patient's intrinsic heart rhythm. At the beginning of the EKG, there is already a prolonged AV conduction time, which progressively lengthens from beat to beat. The last conducted P-wave has a PR interval of nearly 800 ms (!).
