The article discusses cardiac and non-cardiac drugs that induce bradycardia, defined as a heart rate of less than 60 beats per minute. It notes that drug-induced bradycardia is a common adverse as well as desired effect of therapeutic treatment. It talks about cardiac drugs including adrenoreceptors, calcium channel antagonists and cardiac glycosides. Also described are noncardiac drugs such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI), psychiatric medications and anaesthetic agents.
