Talk:Bradycardia

message: Brachycardia? That looks more like a misreading or typo than an alternate name. It means "short heart", which doesn't make sense. -phma 14:47, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Brachycardia? 

message: Short term bradycardia can also be induced through a nervous reflex called the Diving Response. It is initiated by the immersion of a persons face into cold water. A decrease in heart rate and increase in blood pressure result.

message: There are a lot of healthy people with hearth rates below 50 who are not exactly athletes. My resting hearth rate has been below 50 since I first measured it when I was 10 years old.  Count Iblis 23:57, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I have never heard Bradycardia described in such a negative way. I have a resting heart rate around 50 and my doctor has never shown a bit of concern about this, after reading this article I am worried.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marshall70 (talk • contribs) 01:22, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Causes

message: These references seem not reliable to me: first "L'équipe France 2004" is a journal? I know "L'Équipe" is a journal but at Google I only find it at en:WP as a ref;  ... can we trust? If pulse rate is 28/min it doesn't mean that heart rate is 28/min. High competition athletes have usually a low HR at rest; under a threshold around 40/min ventricular premature beats are usual - they are not perceived at wrist because the short diastole time before contraction doesn't permit the complete filling of the LV and reduce the stroke volume of the premature beat. So 40/min can be wrongly perceived as 28/min at wrist. Miguel Indurain biography in sp:WP is a featured article it doesn't talk about this heart rate nor does fr:WP and they don't use "L'Équipe" as a ref. Doc Elisa ✉ 19:09, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

message: How about a simple "bradycardia is a slow heartbeat"? Read the very first paragraph of this utterly useless article as if you didn't know what "bradycardia" means, and tell me if it is actually informative in any way. Wikipedia is FAIL.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.16.123.8 (talk) 17:09, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Absolute sh!t article 

message: There is no mention of relative bradycardia, which is mentioned on pages referring to this article.
Anybody else see the merit of adding this?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.204.65.107 (talk) 16:30, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Relative bradycardia 

message: "During sleep, a slow heartbeat with rates around 40–50 BPM is common"
Not clear if this means common among normal population or common in bradycardia. Which one should it be?  Tombobillabongo (talk) 18:40, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

message: user:zefr is following me around wikipedia and reverting me. I have asked her to stop this and discuss. The latest revert was a massive one with a simple line that in her opinion my edits were not an improvement. I dispute this and ask for help with this editor. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bradycardia&curid=5872&diff=1065519323&oldid=1065506197

replies: text: The changes here were not "massive", but rather simple copyedits to improve clarity and remove misinformation - the source used does not say that bradycardia "helps prevent tachycardia during training." That is an unphysiological statement, and is your misunderstanding. No one is following you around. Your writing was being copyedited, and you felt a Google search (edit summary here) was an acceptable source; it is not. Zefr (talk) 04:20, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: WikiMed UTSW

message: Hello, I am a 4th year medical student working to update this page as part of a WikiMed elective at my school. Over the next few weeks, I hope to overhaul the following areas of this page. I will primarily be pulling sources from Braunwald's Heart Disease 12th edition, and the 2018 AHA/ACC bradycardia and atrioventricular block guidelines.  
* Lead paragraph (12/1)
* Classification section, including a brief description of the normal physiology of cardiac conduction, and how this allows for classification of bradyarrythmias. (12/6)
* Expansion of the epidemiology section that should hopefully alleviate concerns discussed in this talk page about asymptomatic bradycardia. (12/11)
* Overhaul of the management section, especially with regards to the treatment of acute, hemodynamically unstable bradycardia. (12/15)
* Time permitting, a "Presentation" section would be useful, as the symptoms of intermittent bradycardia are often the cause of referrals to cardiologists. 
Please let me know if you have any questions about this work or if you have constructive criticism for me! Thanks.

thread_title:  Work plan for WikiMed course 

message: It is commonly taught in medical schools that the normal heart rate range is 60-100 BPM, implying that bradycardia is anything less than 60. However, modern diagnostic criteria for some of these conditions, eg sinus node dysfunction, use a threshold of less than 50. The NIH still appears to use a threshold of 60 on this page, but the ACC/AHA guidelines use 50. 
The issue is that "bradycardia" isn't a diagnosis, it's a description of the heart rate being lower than normal range. However this description doesn't really match the diagnostic thresholds used in clinical medicine to make a specific diagnosis. So the first paragraph of the article will be confusing as it seems to reference two different thresholds. Any thoughts User:DocElisa?
