Bradycardia

Bradycardia is a medical term for a slower than normal heart rate, usually defined as fewer than 60 beats per minute. While a slow heart rate can be normal for athletes or during sleep, it can also indicate underlying health issues, such as heart disease or problems with the heart's electrical system. Symptoms may include dizziness, fatigue, or fainting. Depending on the cause and severity, treatment may involve monitoring, medication, or devices like a pacemaker to help regulate the heart's rhythm. It's important to consult a healthcare professional if bradycardia causes noticeable symptoms.
