   It is our hypothesis that, since bradyarrhythmia seldom resolves spontaneously, the early decrease in survival represents the deaths of many patients with untreated bradycardia.

   1973, Thomas B. Caldwell, Advances in respiratory care and physiology, page 287

   The term bradyarrhythmia should be reserved for any heart rhythm <60 bpm. Bradyarrhythmias may be associated with symptoms such as dizziness, near-syncope or syncope, congestive heart failure, exercise intolerance, fatigue, or a confusion that improves with resolution of the bradycardia.
