Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The hearts of adults at rest usually beat between 60 and 100 times a minute. If you have bradycardia, your heart beats fewer than 60 times a minute. Bradycardia can be a serious problem if the heart rate is very slow and the heart can’t pump enough oxygen-rich blood to the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Some children and elderly people, as well as athletes and people who exercise often, may have a low resting heart rate that is not a medical condition. Other, more serious causes of bradycardia include drug reactions, advanced age, conditions of the heart and other ailments.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bradycardia treatment may include lifestyle changes, medication changes or an implanted device called a pacemaker. If an underlying health problem, such as thyroid disease or sleep apnea, is causing the slow heart rate, treatment of that condition might correct bradycardia.
