Heart Disease and Medications
Damaged to your heart from previous heart attacks, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, and other heart issues would affect the electrical system of the heart. This makes the process of pumping blood in your heart less effective and slower. In addition, certain medications used for treating high blood pressure and heart disease can increase the risk of bradycardia. Beta blockers, which are often prescribed for a quick heart rate, would trigger this condition as a side effect. [7]
