Angina pectoris may be somewhat related to a slower-than-normal heart rate. Prolonged bradycardia in daily life may reduce the heart's effective pumping function, leading to myocardial ischemia, which could trigger symptoms such as angina. If you experience persistent slow heart rate, it is important to seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital. Based on your individual health condition, a doctor may recommend medications such as Danshen Dripping Pills for proper management.
