- 1956 May 1, Alfred Pick, “Aberrant Ventricular Conduction of Escaped Beats”, in Circulation:
- Typical nodal escapes occurring during sinus bradyarrhythmia, and subsequent to a nodal premature systole with retrograde A-V and aberrant ventricular conduction.
- 1973, Thomas B. Caldwell, Advances in respiratory care and physiology, page 287:
- It is our hypothesis that, since bradyarrhythmia seldom resolves spontaneously, the early decrease in survival represents the deaths of many patients with untreated bradycardia.
- 2012, Eyal Herzog, The Cardiac Care Unit Survival Guide, page 155:
- The term bradyarrhythmia should be reserved for any heart rhythm <60 bpm. Bradyarrhythmias may be associated with symptoms such as dizziness, near-syncope or syncope, congestive heart failure, exercise intolerance, fatigue, or a confusion that improves with resolution of the bradycardia.
