"At What Level of Low Heart Rate Does Cardiac Arrest Become a Risk?"

1. A heart rate below 60 beats per minute may indicate a risk of cardiac arrest. The lower the heart rate, the higher the probability of cardiac arrest.

2. Cardiac arrest mainly refers to the sudden cessation of the heart's blood-pumping function, resulting in the disappearance of large artery pulsation and heart sounds. Organs will also suffer from ischemia and hypoxia, leading to the termination of the patient's life. Cardiac arrest is usually caused by various disease factors or a low heart rate. The normal heart rate ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute. A heart rate below 60 beats per minute is considered bradycardia. The slower the heart rate, the greater the harm, so a heart rate below 60 beats per minute may lead to cardiac arrest, and the lower the heart rate, the higher the probability of cardiac arrest.

3. If a patient experiences cardiac arrest, their family members should immediately call the emergency center. While waiting for medical personnel to arrive, artificial respiration and chest compressions should be provided to the patient. Patients with low heart rates also need medication to improve their condition, and treatment should be administered under the guidance of a doctor.

4. Generally, patients should take more rest and ensure sufficient sleep.
