Counts pulse: The nurse would feel your pulse usually at the wrist to determine the number of heart beats per minute. If it is less than 60, that is defined as bradycardia. An EKG would determine the exact rhythm responsible for the slow pulse.

Low heartbeat: Bradycardia or low heart rate is where your heart beats consistently below 60 bpm.
