  Atropine is the first line treatment for symptomatic bradycardia. […] However, you should use caution in the presence of myocardial ischemia because it increases myocardial oxygen demand. […] According to your ACLS protocols, the answer is atropine because the patient is in symptomatic bradycardia. […] The thought goes that if persistent bradyarrhythmia is causing hypotension, altered mental status, ischemic chest discomfort, or acute heart failure then atropine should be your first choice. […] The history of 1-hour of chest pain, bradycardia with no previous history of bradycardia, and no medications or underlying medical conditions that could cause bradycardia pointed us to early inferior wall MI. […] This is what led to the decision to use NTG rather than atropine.

  The 2018 ACC/AHA/HRS Guideline on the Evaluation and Management of Patients With Bradycardia and Cardiac Conduction Delay was released at the AHA Scientific Sessions (see Kusumoto FM, et al. Circulation 6 Nov 2018. DOI: 10.1161/CIR.0000000000000628.) This comprehensive document updates the 2012 Guideline. […] The recommendations for pacing have changed little since prior guidelines, with a few notable exceptions. Sinus node dysfunction is most often related to age-dependent progressive fibrosis. Pacing should be limited to those with symptoms due to bradycardia. Nocturnal bradycardia is common, and physicians should evaluate for sleep apnea. Pacing is not usually needed. […] For patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) between 36 percent and 50 percent who will be paced more than 40 percent of the time, CRT or HIS bundle pacing are recommended. […] To summarize, there are two key changes in these new guidelines. First, HIS bundle pacing may now be considered in patients requiring frequent ventricular pacing. Second, the guidelines allow increased patient autonomy in refusing pacing and withdrawal of pacing, even if life-threatening.

  The 2018 ACC/AHA/HRS Guideline on the Evaluation and Management of Patients With Bradycardia and Cardiac Conduction Delay was released at the AHA Scientific Sessions (see Kusumoto FM, et al. Circulation 6 Nov 2018. DOI: 10.1161/CIR.0000000000000628.) This comprehensive document updates the 2012 Guideline. […] The recommendations for pacing have changed little since prior guidelines, with a few notable exceptions. Sinus node dysfunction is most often related to age-dependent progressive fibrosis. Pacing should be limited to those with symptoms due to bradycardia. Nocturnal bradycardia is common, and physicians should evaluate for sleep apnea. Pacing is not usually needed. […] For patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) between 36 percent and 50 percent who will be paced more than 40 percent of the time, CRT or HIS bundle pacing are recommended. […] To summarize, there are two key changes in these new guidelines. First, HIS bundle pacing may now be considered in patients requiring frequent ventricular pacing. Second, the guidelines allow increased patient autonomy in refusing pacing and withdrawal of pacing, even if life-threatening.

  Bradycardia is generally defined as a heart rate of . All patients require urgent evaluation with ECG and monitoring. Patients with unstable bradycardia require immediate stabilization, initially with IV atropine, followed by transcutaneous pacing and/or IV chronotropic medications (e.g., dopamine, epinephrine), and transvenous pacing for refractory bradycardia. […] Treatment should also address reversible underlying causes of bradycardia, e.g., hypoxemia, acute coronary syndrome, electrolyte disturbances, and medication-induced bradycardia. […] Patients with unstable bradycardia need immediate stabilization with IV atropine, temporary cardiac pacing, and/or IV chronotropic medication, e.g., dopamine or epinephrine. […] Identify and treat reversible causes of bradycardia, e.g., supplemental O2 for hypoxemia. […] Concurrently treat reversible causes of bradycardia, e.g., hypoxia, hyperkalemia, acute coronary syndrome, beta blocker toxicity, CCB toxicity, cardiac glycoside toxicity. […] High-risk AV block is an indication for permanent pacemaker insertion.

  When diagnosing SND, clinicians must rule out reversible causes.1 Reversible or treatable causes of SND include medications, metabolic abnormalities, acute myocardial ischemia or infarction, infections, toxins, and cardiac surgery. […] Permanent pacing is recommended for all symptomatic patients with bradycardia attributable to AV block, regardless of type.1 Observation is recommended for asymptomatic patients with marked first-degree AV block, except for those with neuromuscular disease or congenital heart disease. […] Conduction disorders are typically managed with permanent pacing.1 According to the ACC/AHA/HRS guidelines, permanent pacing is recommended for patients with syncope, bundle branch block, and those at high risk for AV block.

  Appropriate treatment of any underlying cause – eg, hypothyroidism. […] Glycopyrrolate (antimuscarinic agent) is used in anaesthesia to prevent the bradycardia induced by cholinergic drugs such as the anticholinesterases.

  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/760220-treatment

  In patients with sinus bradycardia secondary to therapeutic use of digitalis, beta-blockers, or calcium channel blockers, simple discontinuation of the drug, along with monitored observation, are often all that is necessary. […] Occasionally, intravenous atropine and temporary pacing are required. […] Treatment of postinfectious bradycardia usually requires permanent pacing. […] In patients with hypothermia who have confirmed sinus bradycardia with a pulse, atropine and pacing are usually not recommended because of myocardial irritability. […] Rewarming and supportive measures are the mainstays of therapy. […] Sinus bradycardia may be seen in patients undergoing therapeutic hypothermia. […] Treatment of inadequate perfusion would include pressors, atropine, and pacing. […] Regular follow-up care is necessary for patients in whom a permanent pacemaker is placed.

  Bradycardia is the medical term for a heart rate that is too slow. […] Most infants have bradycardia for the same reasons they have apnea. And often bradycardia results from the baby having apnea. […] Most apnea and bradycardia episodes are due to prematurity but many other medical conditions can cause these problems; so infants with episodes are usually checked for these problems. […] If the events are due to infection or other problems, then treating the problem will often clear the episodes. […] If the episodes are frequent, require more than gentle stimulation, or are likely to continue for a time (as in a very premature baby), then several treatments may be tried: Medicines such as caffeine, theophylline, or aminophylline are often used. […] While long periods of apnea and low heart rate can cause problems, the short periods that most infants have will not cause brain damage. […] Once premature babies with apnea mature, they should stop having events and usually are not at risk for the episodes to come back. […] There are several things that can be done at home to decrease any baby’s risk.
