That is good information. A low heart rate (but maybe not as low as this patient) can be good in a very “fit” well exercised individual. If not, see an electrophysiologist. He or she may prescribe a Holter monitor to wear for a week or month or …? You need to know how low your heart rate can go. Zero is not good!!!

Had to laugh when I read your post where you said "Good to know how low your heart rate goes down and Zero is not good." Yep that would be a real issue.

A person aerobically fit will normally have a lower pulse rate. It shows why when I have HF with a 25% EF and my wife has normal heart with a EF of 60% that I can walk up several flights of stairs and she cannot without huffing, puffing and stopping.

It shows how important to keep exercising (with doctors approval) and it's benefit on heart and mental health.
