- slow heart
| - rate less than 60 bpm

- deficiency in blood (flow)
- caused by constriction or obstruction of a blood vessel
EX: myocardial ischemia a deficient flow of blood to the heart muscle through the coronary arteries is caused by vessel constriction commonly due to atherosclerosis and can lead to myocardial infarction
