Hello,

I am not sure how to translate this and have been unable to find a satisfactory answer online.



Par consequent, nous n’avons pas introduit de traitement bradycardisant.

Thank you for any help!

heart-rate-lowering
Explanation:
As so often, I think it just comes down to which is the most usual way of expressing it. "Negatively chronotropic" is correct, in that "chronotropic" means altering the heart rate and "negatively" means lowering it. But in many places, and not just in patient information material but in research articles too, the straightforward and easily understood "heart-rate-lowering" seems to be used.

See, for comparison, the French and English version of the SPC for Gilenya:

"L’expérience est limitée chez les patients recevant Gilenya en association avec des bêta-bloquants, des inhibiteurs calciques bradycardisants (comme le vérapamil ou le diltiazem), ou d’autres médicaments susceptibles de diminuer la fréquence cardiaque [...]
Si un traitement par Gilenya est envisagé, l’avis d’un cardiologue doit être sollicité afin d’évaluer la possibilité d’une alternative par un traitement non bradycardisants avant l’instauration du traitement. Si le traitement bradycardisants ne peut être arrêté, l’avis d’un cardiologue doit être sollicité [...]"
http://ec.europa.eu/health/documents/community-register/2018... (p. 5)

"Experience with Gilenya is limited in patients receiving concurrent therapy with beta blockers, heart-rate-lowering calcium channel blockers (such as verapamil or diltiazem), or other substances which may decrease heart rate [...]
If treatment with Gilenya is considered, advice from a cardiologist should be sought regarding the switch to non heart-rate-lowering medicinal products prior to initiation of treatment. If the heart-rate-lowering medication cannot be stopped, cardiologist’s advice should be sought [...]"
https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/documents/product-information/g... (p. 5)

"Heart-rate-lowering medication" gets a lot of hits, more than any of the alternatives I've tried:
https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&ei=Qq7lXNbE...

Including, for example, this from the BMJ:

"In Cox multivariable models mortality increased by 72% [...] after adjustment for age, examination year, alcohol consumption, body mass index [...] and use of HR-lowering medication. [...] In men using and not using HR-lowering medication the risk of death increased 72% [...]"
https://heart.bmj.com/content/94/4/e14

And "heart-rate-lowering treatment" is also reasonable widespread. Here's an article from the European Heart Journal which uses "heart-rate/HR-lowering" quite a lot:

"To date, no human study has been performed to demonstrate the efficacy, the risk-benefit ratio, or even less, the cost-effectiveness of heart-rate lowering treatment in patients without cardiac disorders."

which induces bradycardia


Explanation:
i.e., drugs such as beta-blockers, verapamil etc.
Nos résultats révèlent un effet bradicardisant lors de l’utilisation de la xylazine important par rapport aux autres molécules tout au long de la période anesthésique. (Muir et Hubbell, 2008) ont décrit une bradycardie importante durant la période anesthésique lors de l’utilisation de la xylazine chez les equidéshttps://bu.umc.edu.dz/theses/veterinaire/MAN6468.pdf

bradycardiac


Explanation:
I often wonder about the versatile English word forms, like e.g. "hypotensive", adapting various references in various meanings (hypotensive disease: a condition characterized by hypotension and its sequelae, hypotensive patient: a patient suffering from hypotension, hypotensive drug: a drug inducing hypotension, or just a decrease in pressure,...).

By the same mechanism, "bradycardiac agents" should be a valid English construct, even though those agents do not have a (reduced) heart rate ;-)

treatment to slow the heart rate


Explanation:
Yet another possibility

https://www.cardiosmart.org/healthwise/ps14/11/ps1411

Beta-blockers are very effective at slowing the heart rate.1 Some of the medicines have also been shown to be helpful for people who have coronary artery disease or heart failure.
