Overview
Bradycardia is a condition typically described as a resting heart rate of under 60 beats per minute. It usually does not cause symptoms until the rate drops below 50 BPM. Once symptomatic, it can induce fatigue, weakness, dizziness, nausea, and fainting at very low rates. Numerous factors affect it and vary in part with age and physical conditioning. Sinus arrhythmia, changes in sinus rate due to respiratory cycles, often accompanies sinus bradycardia.
