The heart's rhythm slow and weak
Beats too languid, pulse too meek
As the chambers scarcely fill
Blood supply starts to dwindle
The body cries out needing more
Nutrients and oxygen to its core
But the slowed conduction delays
Vital blood that the heart conveys
Dizziness, fatigue, short of breath
Chest pain and fainting, flirting with death
Low blood pressure leaves one lightheaded
Syncope and falls, the patient's dreaded
Intervention is crucial in this plight
Medications or device to set beating right
Bradycardia can be managed if not ignored
To quicken beats, to live once more.
