Risk Factors
Some people have frequent bradycardia, while others only have this condition in moderation. The risk tends to increase with age, meaning that the elderly are more likely to have slower heart rates. This is quite normal, but some cases need special attention. Any conditions or health problems that cause damages to heart tissues can be major risk factors for bradycardia. Some lifestyle changes can make your body more susceptible include psychological anxiety or stress, consumption of recreational drugs, excessive alcohol use, as well as smoking. [9]
