Question

________ is the term used to indicate a heart rate that is slower than normal.
A) Cardiac tamponade
B) Bradycardia
C) Angina
D) Tachycardia
E) Coronary ischemia

Accepted Answer

Bradycardia is the term used to indicate a heart rate that is slower than normal. Cardiac tamponade is a condition in which there is accumulation of fluid in the pericardial sac and it compresses the heart, leading to decreased cardiac output. Angina is chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. Tachycardia is a term that indicates a heart rate that is faster than normal. Coronary ischemia is a condition in which there is reduced blood flow to the heart muscle due to narrowing of the coronary arteries.
