Learn definitions and ECG criteria for sinus bradycardia, with emphasis on normal (physiological) causes and abnormal (pathological) causes.

2024年10月8日 · Sinus Bradycardia Overview. Sinus rhythm with a resting heart rate of < 60 bpm in adults, or below the normal range for age in children. Normal heart rates in children. Newborn: 110 – 150 bpm; 2 years: 85 – 125 bpm; 4 years: 75 – 115 bpm; 6 years+: 60 – 100 bpm

2024年9月24日 · ECG strip showing bradycardia. Bradycardia is a heart rate that’s too slow. What’s considered too slow can depend on your age and physical condition. Elderly people, for example, are more prone to bradycardia. In general, for adults, a resting heart rate of fewer than 60 beats per minute (BPM) qualifies as bradycardia. There are exceptions.

2024年6月1日 · Bradycardia suggests some form of pacemaker failure. various types of pacemaker malfunction: failure to sense (excess beats, R-on-T) ECG findings: Pacemaker spikes occur right before, during, or after P/QRS complexes. Causes include: New bundle branch block. Lead insulation break. Electrolyte abnormalities. Class IC antiarrhythmic agents ...

Non-acute bradycardia is a common finding in both healthy and diseased individuals. Asymptomatic bradycardia may lack prognostic significance or be physiological, particularly in athletes and young individuals. The severity of symptoms and presence of high-risk arrhythmias on ECG guides the management of non-acute or asymptomatic bradyarrhythmia.

2024年12月13日 · Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). This is the main test used to diagnose bradycardia. An ECG measures the electrical activity of the heart. It shows how the heart is beating. Sticky patches with sensors are placed on the chest and sometimes the arms and legs. Wires connect the electrodes to a computer, which displays or prints the results. Holter ...

Sinus bradycardia occurs on an ECG when there is a normal upright P wave in lead II ― sinus P wave ― preceding every QRS complex with a ventricular rate of less than 60 beats per minute.

While a physical exam alone is enough to diagnose sinus bradycardia, it’s only possible with a specific type of test called an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). That’s because analyzing your heart’s electrical activity is the only way to know that your heart rhythm is otherwise normal.

2024年7月11日 · The primary diagnostic tool for sinus bradycardia is an electrocardiogram (ECG). This test records the electrical activity of the heart and can reveal: 1. The heart rate 2. The origin of the heart’s electrical impulses 3. Any abnormalities in the heart’s rhythm or conduction

Sinus bradycardia originates in the sinoatrial (SA) node of the heart (also known as the pacemaker) and occurs when an individual’s heart rate is 60 beats per minute or less and otherwise presents as a sinus rhythm on an electrocardiogram (ECG).
