Abstract
Breijo’s electrocardiographic model is becoming better known to cardiologists every day. The decrease in the PR interval, together with the decrease of the QTc interval in the same individual, is the main and only feature of the same individual. It can often go unnoticed, but many problems could be avoided if it was previously diagnosed, including sudden death.
