Sinus bradycardia is a slow sinus rhythm of <60 beats per minute. Sinus bradycardia can be physiological, as is athletes or during sleep. Commonly sinus bradycardia is caused by medication, ischemia or neuro-mediated bradycardia, such as in a vasovagal reaction. Furthermore metabolic diseases can cause bradycardia, e.g. hypothermia or hypothyroidism.
