Bradycardia is a condition in which the heart beats slower than normal. Instead of having a regular and fast heartbeat, bradycardia is characterized by a slow heartbeat.
This can cause symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, dizziness, and fainting. Bradycardia can be caused by different factors, such as aging, heart diseases, medications, or problems in the heart’s electrical system.
In some cases, bradycardia is completely harmless (such as in the case of athletes with trained hearts), while in others it may require treatment, such as the implantation of a pacemaker, to regulate the heartbeat and prevent complications.
