Detailed explanation-1: -Bradycardia (brad-e-KAHR-dee-uh) is a slow heart rate. 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -A slow heart rate (or a low heart rate) is known as bradycardia and occurs frequently in older adults. “As people get older, there is occasional normal wear and tear on the electrical system of the heart, ‘’ says cardiologist Jose Baez-Escudero, MD. “As a result, the normal rhythm tends to slow down.”
Detailed explanation-3: -In people who are not physically active, a resting heart rate below 60 is sometimes a sign of an electrical problem with the heart, a low thyroid level (hypothyroidism), or damage from a heart attack or heart disease.
