A precipitous episode of hypotension with concomitant bradycardia is a true medical emergency especially in patients with chronic hypertension and often requires hospitalization for detailed interrogation of the underlying causes.
TREATMENTAsymptomatic Patients Can Wait The treatment of bradycardia depends on the stabil-ity of the patient. Signs and symptoms of inadequatetissue perfusion, including mental status changes, hypo-tension, chest pain, and difficulty breathing, indicateinstability. Prompt treatment is warranted in thesepatients (Box 12-2). In stable patients, the treatmentdepends on the etiology of the bradycardia. For stablesick sinus syndrome, the patient can be closely moni-tored for further decompensation. These patients usu-ally require permanent pacemaker placement by acardiologist in the cath lab.
