My relative has a heart rate of 45 to 50 bpm and a history of Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty (BMV). What medications can help increase her heart rate?

Asked by Female, 50 · 4 days ago

A heart rate of 45 to 50 bpm is slow (bradycardia). For someone with a history of Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty (BMV), this is most commonly caused by medications they are already taking to control their heart rhythm, such as beta-blockers (like metoprolol) or calcium channel blockers (like diltiazem). Rather than starting a new medication to raise her heart rate, the safest first step is to have her cardiologist review her current medications, as adjusting or lowering their doses often resolves the issue. Please consult her doctor promptly for a proper evaluation, especially if she feels dizzy, tired, or lightheaded.
