In the past, many people mistakenly believed that only a fast heart rate was a precursor to blood pressure issues. However, recent studies have shown that a slow heart rate and low blood pressure are closely related. In fact, people with low blood pressure and a slow heart rate may experience numerous health complications.

Atrial premature beats (APBs) are a type of arrhythmia caused by the atria generating abnormal early beats before the normal heartbeat. These premature beats are often weak and inefficient in pumping blood, leading to sensations of skipped beats and palpitations that you may be experiencing.

Bradycardia is less common than tachycardia, but it carries many dangerous risks, even death. Therefore, in addition to ways to stabilize the heart rate with medication or heart support machines, diet for people with bradycardia also needs attention.
