Introduction Page 1
- Any rhythm less than 60 beats per minute can be labeled as bradycardia or called bradycardic.

Sinus Bradycardia Characteristics Page 2
- Since Sinus bradycardia is generated by the sinus node, and has the same characteristics as sinus rhythm except for the rate.
- The rhythm is regular.
- The heart rate is below 60 beats per minute.
- There is a P wave before each QRS complex.
