Dr. Li Man
Sinus bradycardia is typically caused by both pathological and physiological factors. Pathological causes include congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, myocarditis, acute myocardial infarction, infective endocarditis, hypoxia, and neurological disorders. Patients are advised to maintain regular daily routines and healthy dietary habits. Early medical evaluation at a hospital is recommended upon symptom onset to identify the underlying cause; subsequent treatment selection and medication use should be guided by a physician’s recommendations.
