Bradycardia Diagnostic and Management Algorithm
CONSIDER ETIOLOGY (not inclusive):
- STRUCTURAL: sick sinus, AV block, ischemia, cardiomyopathy,
dissection
- INFECTIOUS: myocarditis, lyme + tick bome diseases, dengue,
typhoid, malaria, etc
- ENDOCRINE: Hypothyroidism
- TOX: beta-blockers, digoxin, calcium channel blockers, etc
CONSIDER LIFE THREATENING CAUSES & TREATMENT
- Drugs (beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, digoxin)
- Tx: insulin / euglycemia
- Ischemia (myocardial infarction)
- Tx: reperfusion
- Electrolytes (hyperkalemia)
- Tx: calcium, albuterol, insulin, dextrose, dialysis
