Question 1

is bradycardia an arrhythmia?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Bradycardia is a term to describe a heart rate that is abnormally low. There are many situations where bradycardia, while technically an arrhythmia, is not a concern. Individuals who exercise frequently, particularly endurance athletes such as cyclists and distance runners, typically have low heart rates.

Question 2

is bradycardia a kind of arrhythmia?

Accepted Answer

No: This is really a term that describes a change in the rate of the heart, rather than its rhythm.  Bradycardia means a slower-than-average (or expected) heart rate.

Question 3

when does a bradycardia turn into an arrhythmia?

Accepted Answer

Bradycardia: Bradycardia meaning heart rate less than 60- sometimes termed as bradyarrhythmia if slow heart rate associated with a rhythm abnormality such as slow atrial fib or flutter or premature ventricular contractions or premature atrial contractions etc.

Question 4

if you have arrhythmia and tachycardia, can you also have bradycardia?

Accepted Answer

Brady/tachy: There is a common syndrome called brady/tachy syndrome also called sick sinus syndrome which has both tachy and bradycardia as parts of the problem.

Question 5

laying down heart rate can go to 35bpm  briefly (sinus bradycardia)and then corrects itself to 50s or 60s what kind of arrhythmia could this be?

Accepted Answer

Bradycardia: How are you measuring it? Are you very athletic? Family history of heart problems? Any symptoms that you have when it happens? As you can see, a lot more information is needed, please discuss it in detail with a physician.

Question 6

in order to have an arrhythmia, do you have to have either tachycardia or bradycardia? or can you have an arrhythmia and have a normal heart rate?

Accepted Answer

You can have: a rate (number of beats per minute) within "normal" range and still have an arrhythmia (the timing of the beats relative to each other)

Question 7

ekg says sinus bradycardia with sinus arrhythmia. lateral st abnormality is nonspecific. 49bpm qt/qtc 0.434s/0.415s. pr 0.172s. qrs 0.102s. does this seem ok?

Accepted Answer

: Sinus bradycardia &amp; sinus arrhythmia are essentially normal variants often seen in EKGs of young people. Abnormalities in the ST segments, which are usually referred to in the precordial leads V5&amp; V6 are mentioned&amp; are nondiagnostic. There are various causes of nonspecific ST abnormalities, some are serious,many are not. Different morphologies of the abnormality may offer clues. See cardiologist

Question 8

halter monitor results say sinus bradycardia to sinus tachycardia with sinus arrhythmia.  should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

From your: description this sounds like a normal Holter monitor for a 42 year old woman. It would be best to discuss this with your health care provider as he/she will be able to place these findings in context with your clinical condition and symptoms.

Question 9

i had a period of time with tachycardia & high bp,then i had med for2 mnths&then discontinue,now i have bradycardia& occasionally high bp, arrhythmia?

Accepted Answer

BP tachycardia: Need more information. I specialize in difficult high blood pressure problems and happy to do 2nd opinion to help you out.

Question 10

my holter monitor report says sinus bradycardia to sinus tachycardia with sinus arrhythmia. tachycardia happening during rest. are those results normal?

Accepted Answer

Not enough: During heart monitoring symptoms experienced are matched with abnormal heart rhythms making the test positive if that is the case. Otherwise bradycardia or tachycardia can be still normal under many circumstances.
