Slow Heartbeat? Uncover Bradycardia's Silent Threat

Bradycardia, a condition marked by an abnormally slow heart rate typically below 60 beats per minute, is increasingly recognized as a significant health concern. While sometimes a normal variant for athletes, for others, it can manifest as fatigue, dizziness, breathlessness, or fainting.

Dr. Vanita Arora, a leading cardiac electrophysiologist, discusses the degenerative and age-related nature of bradycardia. She emphasizes the critical need for timely diagnosis, especially as India's aging population and improved diagnostic tools lead to better identification of such heart rhythm disorders.
