In general, for asymptomatic bradycardia, when the heart rate is greater than 50 beats per minute, follow-up observation is sufficient and no treatment is required. However, when symptomatic bradycardia occurs, the cause should be promptly identified, corrected and medication given to increase the heart rate.
Commonly used oral medications include atropine tablets and aminophylline tablets, and intravenous medications include atropine solution and isoproterenol.
