bradydiastole
Prolongation of the diastole (time in between ventricular, or muscular chambers, contractions) of the heart.
A disturbance of the heart beat, typically fewer than 60 beats per minute in the average adult: "The doctor used his stethoscope to listen to the bradydysrhythmia of the patient and then he decided to refer her to a cardiologist for a more exact examination and diagnosis."
bradyecoia
A mild deafness (slow of hearing).
