An abnormally slow or low heart rate.
An unusually slow heartbeat, less than 60 beats/min.
A distinctly slow heartbeat, which may be a normal idiosyncracy or a functional or organic disease. Bradycardia is usually defined as a pulse below sixty beats a minute, or seventy in children.
Abnormally slow heartbeat, generally characterized by a pulse rate below 60 beats per minute.
A slow rate of heart contraction, shown by a slow pulse rate of less than 70 beats per minute.
Slow heartbeat (pulse rate lower than 60 in an adult). Some healthy people, especially athletes, have normally low resting pulse rates, but bradycardia often indicates a disorder of either the circulatory or the central nervous system. Some medications (e.g., beta blockers) may also cause bradycardia. Symptoms of weakness or loss of consciousness (syncope) may be present. Treatment of the underlying disorder, removal of an offending drag, and a cardiac pacemaker are potential therapies.
A slower than normal heartbeat, typically less than 6o beats per minute. When the heart beats too slowly, it fails to provide the body with enough blood to function properly. The usual symptoms of bradycardia are fatigue, shortness of breath, light-headedness or dizziness, or sudden fainting. Since these symptoms can result from conditions other than bradycardia, testing is required to isolate their cause.
An unusually slow heartbeat, typically less than 50 beats per minute. One type of bradycardia, known as sinus bradycardia, occurs in well-trained athletes and during deep relaxation. It produces no symptoms and is considered normal. Other forms of bradycardia are abnormal and may require treatment, depending on type, severity, and symptoms.
A slow heartbeat marked by a pulse rate below 60 beats per minute in an adult.
Bradycardia refers to an unusually slow heart rate. While most individuals have a heart rate ranging between 60 and 100 beats per minute, it is not uncommon for athletes and healthy individuals who engage in regular and vigorous exercise to have slower heart rates. However, in some cases, bradycardia can be indicative of an underlying condition such as hypothyroidism or heart block. The use of beta-blocker drugs can also cause bradycardia. Profound or sudden bradycardia may lead to a drop in blood pressure, potentially resulting in fainting. It is important to seek medical attention if experiencing symptoms associated with bradycardia to determine the underlying cause and appropriate management.
