How To Treat Bradycardia?
my 25 yr old son told us he thought he had a heart attack yesterday and since my husband is a mobile xray tech he had an ekg machine here and did one with the following: vent rate 45 bph, pr interval 152 ms, QRS duration 104 ms, QT/QTc 476/420 ms and P-R-T axes 38 -5 22. I know he has bradycardia but I want to know if he shows any other problems here? He told me he doesn't think he needs to see a doc

Hi,
Bradycardia is not normal to have, it needs to be evaluated. First he should undergo thyroid test and potassium, magnesium levels, he may need holter monitoring as well. I guess he is not on any medicine. Is he an athlete, because sometimes athlete can have low heart rate and it's normal for them.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
