Overview
Common risk factors in the development of bradycardia include congenital heart disease, infection of the heart tissue, heart surgery, hypothyroidism or other metabolic condition, damage caused by a heart attack or heart disease, electrolyte imbalance in the blood, obstructive sleep apnea, inflammatory diseases (rheumatic fever or lupus).
Risk Factors
Common Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of bradycardia include:
- Congenital heart disease
- Infection of the heart tissue
- Heart surgery
- Hypothyroidism or other metabolic condition
- Damage caused by a heart attack or heart disease
- Electrolyte imbalance in the blood
- Obstructive sleep apnea
- Inflammatory diseases (rheumatic fever or lupus)
Less Common Risk Factors
Less common risk factors in the development of bradycardia include:
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Smoking
- Heavy alcohol use
- Use of recreational drugs
- Psychological stress or anxiety
