Since the pulse rate is equivalent to the heart rate, patients with bradycardia have a slow pulse. This may be a physiological condition and is often observed in athletes, but it may also indicate disease.
Most common diseases
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
However, after repeated bouts of coughing, the heart rate showed bradycardia associated with convulsion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cimetidine has been reported to cause bradycardia in a small subgroup of people. [richtlijnendatabase.nl]
Moreover, GERD may underlie other signs or conditions, such as impaired quality of life, food refusal, persisting hiccups, abnormal posturing/Sandifer’s syndrome, anemia, and bradycardia [intechopen.com]
Vasovagal Syncope
The pulse rate slows: Due to the disturbance in the vagus nerve control, the pulse rate slows. [buoyhealth.com]
weak pulse and dilated pupils Recovery generally begins in less than a minute. [newgradoptometry.com]
weak pulse Dilated pupils Recovery after a vasovagal episode begins soon after fainting, generally in less than a minute. [fortishealthcare.com]
Syncope
pulse Neurally mediated syncope (vasovagal), cardiac syncope (bradyarrhythmia) Tonic-clonic movement or posture Seizure None Vasovagal or cardiac syncope in older patients [aafp.org]
Symptoms include deep and fast respiration, weak and slow pulse and respiratory pauses that may last for 60 seconds. [en.wikipedia.org]
Myoclonic, tonic-clonic movement Neurally mediated syncope (vasovagal), seizure Prolonged confusion* Seizure Prolonged syncope Seizure, neurogenic, metabolic, infectious Slow [aafp.org]
Micturition Syncope
These episodes were observed in the minutes following the catheterisations performed in the sitting position, associating hypotension and bradycardia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The vagus nerve stimulus causes slowing down of the heart (bradycardia) and a drop in blood pressure. [en.wikipedia.org]
MS is caused by reflex which results with vasodilatation and bradycardia, like defecation syncope. [scopemed.org]
Cardiomyopathy
This pacemaker also will help people with heart block or some bradycardias (slow heart rates). Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD). [medicinenet.com]

Sinus bradycardia. Note, leads V4, V5, and V6 still remain in positions V4R, V8, and V9 (respectively). [aclsmedicaltraining.com]
Sleep Apnea
This is known as “bradycardia.” The infant even may lose consciousness and need to be resuscitated. Infant sleep apnea has two general causes. [sleepeducation.org]
In the present study tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome was detected in 45% of the Holter readings; atrial fibrillation was the most common type of tachycardia. [revespcardiol.org]
An early study indicated that oxygen therapy was somewhat beneficial in reducing the frequency of apneic episodes and the incidence of apnea-induced bradycardia. 34 These [aafp.org]
Acute Myocardial Infarction
Their results were mixed: IV magnesium reduced the incidence of serious arrhythmias, but this treatment also increased the incidence of profound hypotension, bradycardia and [cochrane.org]
It is recommended that anti-arrhythmic therapy for bradycardia and/or ventricular irritability be available when TNKase is administered. [tnkase.com]

Heart rates often change during apneic episodes, with relative bradycardia occurring during airway obstruction followed by tachycardia during arousals. [todaysgeriatricmedicine.com]
