Bradycardia is a medical condition characterized by an abnormally slow heart rate, typically defined as fewer than 60 beats per minute in adults. It can occur in healthy individuals, particularly athletes, but may also indicate underlying health issues such as Heart disease, electrolyte imbalances, or thyroid disorders. Symptoms can include fatigue, dizziness, and fainting, particularly if the heart rate drops significantly. Treatment typically depends on the underlying cause and may involve lifestyle changes, medication, or, in severe cases, the use of a pacemaker.
