Complications such as heart failure, cerebral ischemia, and cardiac arrest can occur with a slow heart rate.
1. Slow heart rate will affect the blood supply of coronary arteries, and patients may experience symptoms such as panic and chest tightness. Insufficient blood supply to the myocardium leads to myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, which can eventually lead to cardiac insufficiency and heart failure.
2. Slow heart rate affects the blood supply to the brain, resulting in cerebral ischemia, which can lead to hemiparesis, slurred speech and other symptoms.
3. Patients with slow heart rate may experience persistent chest pain, dyspnea, fainting, and even cardiac arrest. Cardiac arrest, without timely rescue, can lead to sudden death.
Patients with slow heart rate are advised to go to the hospital in time to avoid delays and serious complications.
