In general, for adults, a resting heart rate of fewer than 60 beats per minute (BPM) qualifies as bradycardia. But there are exceptions. Your heart rate may fall below 60 BPM during deep sleep. And physically active adults (and athletes) often have a resting heart rate slower than 60 BPM.
What are the disadvantages of having a pacemaker?
Risks
- Infection near the site in the heart where the device is implanted.
- Swelling, bruising or bleeding at the pacemaker site, especially if you take blood thinners.
- Blood clots (thromboembolism) near the pacemaker site.
- Damage to blood vessels or nerves near the pacemaker.
- Collapsed lung (pneumothorax)
When do you need a pacemaker for bradycardia?
Your doctor may recommend a temporary pacemaker when you have a slow heartbeat (bradycardia) after a heart attack, surgery or medication overdose but your heartbeat is otherwise expected to recover. A pacemaker may be implanted permanently to correct a chronic slow or irregular heartbeat or to help treat heart failure.
