Hello, bradycardia can be treated through various approaches, including pharmacological therapy, pacemaker implantation, or surgical intervention. In the early stages of the condition, medications such as atropine or methylxanthines (e.g., theophylline) may be used to increase ventricular rate. If the condition is severe, permanent pacemaker implantation is recommended. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
