==Diagnosis==
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.

===Resting EKG===
The [[heart rate]] is < 60 beats per minute.

===24 Hour Ambulatory Electrocardiogram Monitoring===
:[[Bradycardia case study one|Case #1]]
The diagnosis is usually made with the help of a [[24-hour ambulatory electrocardiogram]] (ECG) or telemetry.


==Treatment==
==Related Chapter==
===Urgent Treatment===
* Check drug list and remove drugs predisposing to bradycardia like [[beta blockers]], [[calcium channel blocker]], anti-arrhythmic drug.
* Drug treatment for bradycardia is typically not indicated for patients who are asymptomatic.
* In symptomatic patients, underlying electrolyte or [[acid-base disorders]] or [[hypoxia]] should be corrected first.
* IV [[atropine]] may provide temporary improvement in symptomatic patients, although its use should be balanced by an appreciation of the increase in myocardial oxygen demand this agent causes. [[Atropine]]  0.5-1 mg IV or ET q3-5min up to 3 mg total (0.04 mg/kg)


====Indications For a Temporary Pacemaker====
*[[AV Block]]
Advanced [[heart block]] such as [[complete heart block]] is an indication for a temporary [[pacemaker]] insertion.


===Chronic Management===
{{WikiDoc Help Menu}}
There are two main reasons for treating brandycardia:
{{WikiDoc Sources}}
#With bradycardia, the first is to address the associated symptoms, such as [[Fatigue (physical)|fatigue]], limitations on how much an individual can physically exert, [[fainting]] (syncope), [[dizziness]] or [[lightheadedness]], or other vague and non-specific symptoms.
[[CME Category::Cardiology]]
#The other reason to treat bradycardia is if the person's ultimate outcome (prognosis) will be changed or impacted by the bradycardia.
Treatment in this vein depends on whether any symptoms are present, and what the underlying cause is.
Primary or [[idiopathic]] bradycardia is treated symptomatically if it is significant, and the underlying cause is treated if the bradycardia is secondary.
