• B. Heart rate is increased
• C. Blood pressure is increased
• D. Blood pressure is decreased

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Heart rate is reduced

• Bradycardia is a type of abnormal heart rhythm, or arrhythmia.

• It occurs when the heart beats very slowly — less than 60 beats per minute.

• A normal heartbeat begins with an electrical impulse from the sinus node, a small area in the heart's right atrium (right upper chamber).
