Overview
Evaluation of bradycardia includes assessment of the heart rhythm, symptoms, medications, and associated medical conditions (reversible and irreversible). Symptomatic bradycardias are treated by removal of the underlying causes, medications (atropine) or insertion of a temporary or permanent pacemaker. The term relative bradycardia is used to explain a heart rate that, while not technically below 60 beats per minute, is considered too slow for the individual's current medical condition.
