Pathologic bradycardias are caused by disorders of impulse generation (impaired automaticity at [[SA node]]), impulse conduction ([[heart block]]) or [[escape pacemaker]]s and rhythms. Bradycardia can be underlain by several causes, which are best divided into cardiac and non-cardiac causes. Non-cardiac causes are usually secondary, and can involve recreational drug use, [[endocrine]] disorders ([[hypothyroid]]); [[electrolyte]] imbalance ([[hyperkalemia]]); autonomic reflexes; situational factors (prolonged [[bed rest]]); infections [[lyme disease]], medications, and [[autoimmune|autoimmunity]] disorders. Cardiac causes include acute or chronic [[ischemic heart disease]], vascular [[heart disease]], [[valvular heart disease]], or degenerative primary electrical disease (fibrosis and calcification of the [[sinus node]] and [[conduction system]]). | Pathologic bradycardias are caused by disorders of impulse generation (impaired automaticity at [[SA node]]), impulse conduction ([[heart block]]) or [[escape pacemaker]]s and rhythms.

Overview
Causes
Pathologic bradycardias are caused by disorders of impulse generation (impaired automaticity at SA node), impulse conduction (heart block) or escape pacemakers and rhythms. Bradycardia can be underlain by several causes, which are best divided into cardiac and non-cardiac causes. Non-cardiac causes are usually secondary, and can involve recreational drug use, endocrine disorders (hypothyroid); electrolyte imbalance (hyperkalemia); autonomic reflexes; situational factors (prolonged bed rest); infections lyme disease, medications, and autoimmunity disorders. Cardiac causes include acute or chronic ischemic heart disease, vascular heart disease, valvular heart disease, or degenerative primary electrical disease (fibrosis and calcification of the sinus node and conduction system).
