Morphology
bradycardic = bradycardia (semi-transparent) = brady + cardi + ic
Formed by adding the adjective-forming suffix '-ic' to the medical noun 'bradycardia'; the derivation is regular but relies on technical Greek combining forms.
Etymology
Bradycardic comes from the parts brady- meaning 'slow' and cardi- meaning 'heart'; think of cardio exercise where 'cardio' is about the heart, so bradycardic describes a 'slow heart' or a heart that beats slower than normal.
