Paradoxical Bradycardia is not so much a type of Bradycardia (slow heart beat), rather, it is a way of describing an action.
For example, Atropine Sulfate is a drug used to increase heart rate in life threatening brady arrhythmias. However, when pushed slowly, or with low doses, it can actually CAUSE bradycardia. Therefore, Atropine, a drug intended to INCREASE a heart rate, can actually cause the rhythm to occur it is intended to reverse.
Paradox is defined as: One exhibiting inexplicable or contradictory aspects.
