Answered by Master, Doctor Tong Van Hoan - Emergency Resuscitation Department, Vinmec Danang International General Hospital.
Hello,
With the question “How is the elderly with bradycardia 52 times/minute treated? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Heart rate less than 60 beats/minute is defined as bradycardia. Bradycardia can also be seen in people with good health such as athletes, who regularly practice sports because the heart in these subjects only needs to squeeze a few beats to feed the body.
If the bradycardia is accompanied by symptoms including: Dizziness or lightheadedness, lightheadedness, fainting, shortness of breath, especially with exercise or exertion, chest pain, or a feeling of palpitations, seek medical attention. See a cardiologist to determine the cause. Diet rarely affects heart rate, and identifying the cause of bradycardia is most important in this situation.
If you still have questions about the elderly with bradycardia 52 times / minute, you can go to the hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
Best regards!
