Bradycardia, a heart rate of 20 or so beats per minute, requires pacemaker implantation even if there is no discomfort.
1. A heart rate of 20 beats per minute is called bradycardia. Normal human heart rate is 60~100 beats per minute, and a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute belongs to bradycardia. If the patient’s heart rate is 20 beats per minute, even if he does not have any uncomfortable symptoms, he should consult the doctor in time and have a pacemaker installed according to the doctor’s instruction to prevent sudden death.
2. Bradycardia is generally seen in pathological changes, such as pathological sinus node syndrome, III degree AV block, etc., generally more dangerous, even if there are no symptoms, but also with the possibility of sudden cardiac arrest, so it should be timely medical care.
If a patient’s examination reveals a heart rate of 20 or so beats per minute, he or she needs to seek prompt medical attention and treatment as prescribed by the doctor.
