Asymptomatic Sinus Bradycardia Post-Bariatric Surgery: A Case Report

Abstract

Bradyarrhythmia as a result of significant weight loss post-bariatric surgery is slowly gaining recognition in few case reports and even fewer studies. However, awareness of its diagnosis and management amongst physicians remains modest. We report a case of asymptomatic sinus bradycardia in a 41-year-old woman who shed 19.5 kg/m2 in 4 months following bariatric surgery. The pathophysiology, diagnostics and management of post-bariatric surgery sinus bradycardia is briefly discussed.
