Sinus Bradycardia SA node fires at a rate less than 60
- symptomatic: fatigue, dizziness, chest pain, syncope,
pale/cool skin, hypotension, weakness, confusion,
disorientation, SOB
drugs* BB, CCB
*may be normal in athletes and some people during
sleep
Sinus Bradycardia Treatment treat patient with symptoms

*IV atropine
if atropine is ineffective, PACING, or
dopamine/epinephrine (adrenalin) infusion is
considered
if d/t drugs, may have to hold, d/c, and decrease
, Sinus Tachycardia *dizziness, dyspnea, hypotension bc of - decreased
CO = increased myocardial O2 consumption
CAD = angina
discharge rate from the SA node increased bc of
vagal inhibition or sympathetic stimulation
rate 101-200
can be caused from fever, pain, hypotension,
hypovalemia, anemia, hypoxia, hypoglycemia, MI, HF,
hypothyroidism, anxiety, fear
- drugs; EPI, NOR-EPI, atropine, caffeine, theophylline,
hydralazine
OTC - Sudafed
Sinus Tachycardia Treatment *treat underlying cause
stable pt = vagal maneuver, BB, adenosine, CCB - to
decrease HR
unstable pt = cardioversion
