Question 7

what is sinus bradycardia?

Accepted Answer

Slow heart rate: A heart rate slower than expected for age when compared to a particular population that still originates from the normal region of the heart (sinus node) and travels down the normal electrical pathways of the heart.  Brady in medicine refers to slow, and in this case cardia to heart rate.

Question 8

can you define sinus bradycardia?

Accepted Answer

Yes: A slow heart rate in which the electrical signal for each heartbeat originates from the sinus node (where it's supposed to originate).  Generally, in an adult, this means a heart rate of less than 60.  But keep in mind you can have a heart rate less than 60 and still be okay.  For example many good athletes, whose hearts are in great shape, have resting heart rates less than 60.

Question 9

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).

Question 10

what is sinus bradycardia and prwp?

Accepted Answer

ECG findings: "Sinus bradycardia" means the HR is slower than expected but otherwise normal by ECG findings.  "PRWP" stands for "poor R wave progression" - it's an ECG finding that is relatively non-specific but requires interpretation with respect to your cardiac risk factors otherwise.  If you are at elevated cardiac risk, then further testing would be recommended, such as stress testing or angiogram.
