      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.
