Why does a person's heart rate become too low

Many people in life don’t quite understand why the issue of heart rate is so worthy of people’s attention. If people lose their normal muscle balance, it will cause many changes and abnormalities in the patient’s body. Heart rate changes come from multiple reasons, including physiological factors and pathological factors. So why do some people have a low heart rate?

There are many reasons for low heart rate. First of all, let's talk about physiological reasons. Generally speaking, some people may have a heart rate lower than 60 beats per minute, but it will not be too low. Basically, it can be around 50 beats per minute. This situation is mostly seen in athletes.

Another situation is pathological, such as sick sinus syndrome, which can lead to persistent bradycardia and a slow heart rate, and may even cause the heart rate to remain below 40 beats per minute. Some cases may be caused by other diseases, such as ischemia and inflammation, which affect the function of the sinus node. In addition, especially after an acute myocardial infarction, sinus node necrosis may occur, which can also lead to a slow heart rate. In addition, taking certain medications, such as digoxin and amiodarone, can also cause bradycardia.
