==[[Sinus bradycardia pathophysiology|Pathophysiology]]==


'''Sinus [[bradycardia]]''' is a heart rhythm that originates from the sinus node and has a rate of under 60 beats per minute. Common causes include [[sick sinus syndrome]] and pharmacotherapy such as [[beta-blockers]].  Sinus bradycardia is not unexpected in highly trained athletes.  It only requires treatment if the patient is symptomatic.

==Pathosphysiology==
==[[Sinus bradycardia differential diagnosis|Differentiating Sinus bradycardia from other Diseases]]==
This rhythm may be caused by one of the following:
* Increased [[vagal]] tone.
* Intrinsic disease of the [[SA node]].
* An effect of [[drugs]], such as the use of [[digitalis]] or [[beta-blockers]].
* [[Sleep]]
* Sinus bradycardia is a normal finding in a healthy, well-conditioned athlete.

==Diagnosis==
==Diagnosis==
===Symptoms===
[[Sinus bradycardia history and symptoms| History and Symptoms]] | [[Sinus bradycardia physical examination | Physical Examination]] | [[Sinus bradycardia laboratory findings|Laboratory Findings]] | [[Sinus bradycardia electrocardiogram|Electrocardiogram]]
The decreased heart rate can cause a decreased [[cardiac output]] resulting in symptoms such as [[lightheadedness]], [[dizziness]], [[hypotension]], [[vertigo]], and [[syncope]].
 
Sinus bradycardia may lead to no symptoms in a young athlete.
 
===Signs===
There may be a wide [[pulse pressure]].  If [[cardiac output]] is reduced, there may be signs of end organ hypoperfusion.
 
===Laboratory Studies===
[[TFT]]s should be checked
Check electrolytes, Ca, Mg
[[Hypoglycemia]] should be excluded
Consider a toxicologic screen
 
===ECG Characteristics===
*Rate:  Less than 60.
*Rhythm:  Regular.
*[[P wave]]s:  Upright, consistent, and normal in morphology and duration.
*[[PR Interval]]:  Between 0.12-0.20 seconds in duration.
*[[QRS complex]]:  Less than 0.12 seconds in width, and consistent in morphology.
*[[Early repolarization]] is accentuated in the setting of sinus bradycardia
