Can what I eat help prevent future kidney stones? You may be able to prevent future kidney stones by making changes in how much sodium, animal protein, calcium, or oxalate you consume. A dietitian who specializes in kidney stone prevention can help you plan meals. You can make changes to what you eat based on the type of kidney stone you had.
Here are some simple steps on how to measure the PR interval: 1  Find the P-wave on the EKG strip. 2  Determine where the PR interval is, and to do this you start measuring at the beginning of the p-wave until the beginning of the QRS complex. 3  Count the SMALL boxes between there measurements.  Remember each box represents 0.04 seconds.
When one compares the complexes and measurements in this EKG, which displays WPW to the Normal Heart Rhythm, you will note four differences. First, the PR interval is shorter than normal, in this example it is .06 seconds vs the normal range of .12-.20 seconds.
