C. Hypertension.
D. Arrhythmia.

Answer 1

Bradycardia is a heart condition in which the resting heart rate drops below 60 beats per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pulse rate of fewer than 60 beats per minute is described as bradycardia. Bradycardia is a heart condition in which the resting heart rate drops below 60 beats per minute. Some symptoms of bradycardia include weakness, fatigue, dizziness, fainting, chest discomfort, palpitations, or respiratory distress. It can be caused by inherent factors such as abnormalities in the SA or AV node, or external factors such as ischemia to the heart muscle or diseases of the heart vessels or valves.
