Bradycardia, also called bradyarrhythmia, is a resting heart rate under 60 beats per minute (BPM). [1] While bradycardia can result from various pathological processes, it is commonly a physiological response to cardiovascular conditioning or due to asymptomatic type 1 atrioventricular block .
Infant swimming is the phenomenon of human babies and toddlers reflexively moving themselves through water and changing their rate of ... (reflex bradycardia), ...
Mild bradycardia is caused by subjects holding their breath without submerging the face in water. [10] [11] When breathing with the face submerged, the diving response increases proportionally to decreasing water temperature. [8] However, the greatest bradycardia effect is induced when the subject is holding their breath with their face wetted ...
Apnea of prematurity is a disorder in infants who are preterm that is defined as cessation of breathing that lasts for more than 20 seconds and/or is accompanied by hypoxia or bradycardia. Apnea of prematurity is often linked to earlier prematurity (younger gestational age).
It occurs when the infant has pauses in breathing for no more than 10 seconds at a time followed by a series of rapid, shallow breaths. Then the breathing returns to normal without any stimulation or intervention. These pauses in breathing may be accompanied by minor oxygen desaturation and bradycardia. It usually occurs when the infant is ...

The normal range has since been revised in textbooks to 50–90 bpm for a human at total rest. Setting a lower threshold for bradycardia prevents misclassification of fit individuals as having a pathologic heart rate. The normal heart rate number can vary as children and adolescents tend to have faster heart rates than average adults.
All infants who are 'gasping', show signs of being apnoeic (suspension of breathing), or have bradycardia with a heart rate lower than 100 beats per minute after birth are recommended to be administered positive pressure ventilation with a 'manual ventilation device' to provide breathing support.
