Bradycardia Definition, Causes, Symptoms &
Treatment quiz
High blood pressure makes it very difficult for your heart to - push blood
out into circulation and causes a reflex in your body (called reflex
bradycardia) that slows down the heart in order to try and lower the
blood pressure.
If a patient's heart rate is measured to be less than 50 beats per minute,
you can definitively say they have: - Bradycardia (from the quiz)
If a person with tachycardia (a fast heart rate) is given a beta blocker as
treatment, but given too much, then you may most expect: -
bradycardia (beta blockers lower heart rate)
If our heart's pacemaker is sick, resulting in an inappropriate heart rate,
we term this: - sick sinus syndrome
important signs of pathologic bradycardia include - Fainting, or syncope
Dizziness
Fatigue
, Shortness of breath
An abnormally slow heart rate, less than 60 beats per minute, is more
technically known as - Bradycardia
An ECG is an electrocardiogram, a test that - plots out the electrical
activity of your heart with squiggly lines on a piece of paper or
computer screen.
Another cause of bradycardia is hypertension which is - high blood
pressure
Another possibility for bradycardia is damage to the heart muscle from
something such as a - myocardial infarctions (heart attacks)
another term for fainting is - syncope
bradycardia could cause your death as a result of many other reasons,
such as - infection, electrolyte disorders, certain medications, and many
more.
List the possible causes of bradycardia: - hypothyroidism
