When the heart rate drops below 60 beats per minute, it is referred to as bradycardia. This slower rate can be a natural response or, in some cases, a sign of a rhythm disorder.
This site is intended to provide information and make cardiology comprehensible for all patients; it is not a substitute for a doctor. It does, however, enable a better understanding of how the heart works, the many heart diseases that exist, the tests required to reach a diagnosis, and the drugs and other methods used to treat them.
Where the masculine is used herein, it shall be all-gender inclusive.
