Common Disorders

Bradycardia

Bradycardia: When the Heart Takes a Slow Beat

Bradycardia is a type of heart rhythm disorder where the heart beats slower than normal. This could mean a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute. While it is not always a cause for concern, especially in physically fit individuals, it can sometimes be a sign of heart disease.

Listed below are the things you need to know:

Symptoms of bradycardia can include dizziness, fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, chest pain, and in severe cases, syncope (fainting spells) or near faints.
Causes may vary, from being a normal phenomenon in athletes to heart tissue damage related to ageing, heart disease, hypothyroidism, or certain medications.
Bradycardia can limit the amount of oxygen-rich blood that reaches the brain and other parts of the body, which can result in various health problems.

In certain instances, bradycardia may require treatment. This could include adjusting any medications that are causing the slow heart rate or in more serious cases, implanting a pacemaker to regulate the heart rhythm.
