Question 1

can hyperkalemia cause bradycardia?

Accepted Answer

See below : An extremely elevated level of potassium in the blood (hyperkalemia) can cause a slow heart rate (bradycardia) and even cardiac arrest.

Question 2

hyperkalemia leads to bradycardia or tachycardia?

Accepted Answer

Electrolytes: Hyperkalemia can caus several ECG abnormalities.   First one may see "peaked t waves".  Ventricular ectopic beats (pvc's)  as well as tachycardia may develop.   If untreated the rate can slow and a "sine wave pattern" which is a wide slow wave form that is a pre-terminal rhythm.   Hyper kalmia is a medical emergency that needs to be treated rapidly.

Question 3

what would be the most commen cause of bradycardia?

Accepted Answer

Bradycardia: This depends upon the age of the patient -child vs adult, and health status of the patient. Generally speaking, the most common causes of bradycardia are issues with the conducting system in the heart caused by heart disease and aging, medications causing bradycardia, and certain medical conditions distinct from heart disease can produce this as well.

Question 4

please describe the most commen cause of bradycardia?

Accepted Answer

Bradycardia: Elderly patients on blood pressure medications. In young people, healthy athletes have slow heart rate.

Question 5

what causes bradycardia in a otherwise healthy female?

Accepted Answer

: Bradycardia is defined as heart rate less than 60 bpm. People with a high parasympathethic system, i.e. vagotonia, can be normally present with heart rate in the 50s and sometimes in the 40s with otherwise normal EKG and heart exam. I do not talk about the exceptional cases of bradycardia in woman athletes with years of training. Take care.

Question 6

can benzodiazapines cause bradycardia?

Accepted Answer

In fact: When the circumstances are right, they'll stop the heart cold (+ you too)

Question 7

bradycardia in healthy 25 yr old female can be caused by running, right?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Well conditioned individuals will have slower resting heart rates than those that are not.  As long as you are not symptomatic and are able to maintain a normal blood pressure you should be ok.  Check with your doctor to insure both of the above.

Question 8

is it at all possible that low ferritin  (i'm at a 6) could cause bradycardia?

Accepted Answer

No: Look for another cause. Especially if you are physically fit and feel well, bradycardia may be a non-problem.

Question 9

i go from tachy (up to 185 bpm) to bradycardia as low as 36bpm. whatcan cause thesefuctuatios? havebeen working out. thnk you for your time :)

Accepted Answer

See doctor: This is not normal. See a doctor as soon as possible. I would avoid working out until you get this condition evaluated and diagnosed.

Question 10

what  causes of sinus bradycardia?

Accepted Answer

Normal or abnormal: Could be normal if physically fit  as in athletes due to high parasympathetic tone.   Abnormal sinus bradycardia could be due to degeneration of the cells in the sinus node, certain medications such as beta blockers , Diltiazem or verapamil and  sinus node ischemia( insufficient blood flow).
