Is there a specific treatment for heart disease associated with sinus bradycardia? Ayurveda can be invoked as s?
Are the medications prescribed by Ayurvedic Cardiologists safe and curative?

As a “s?” What does that mean?
Besides talking more to your cardiologist, check the American Heart Association website for patients, at http://www.hearthub.org/.
And, no one knows from your question about the treatment, because we do not know the electroconductivity of your heart. In some cases a pacemaker may be used to treat bradycardia (slow heart rate below 60 beats per minute [pulse rate]), but if tachycardia is severe that would not be used; possibly a defibrillator.
Again, your questions need to be directed to your cardiologist.

the specific treatment would be to place a pacemaker. This will give the heart a little shock, when the heart rate gets below 60, which will cause the heart to beat. The heart rate would not go below 60. A defibrillator would not be helpful in this. It gives the heart a large shock when the heart is beating too fast.
To place a pacemaker, a 4 inch incision is made usually on the left upper chest. There, they place a metal box a little bigger than a zippo lighter. They will also be attatching wires to the heart that the electrical current will travel. In most cases, this is an over night hospital stay.
I’m not quite sure what the second part of your question is asking.
