@moey2720 The demarcation point, officially across the medical training, is that an HR less than 60 BPM meets the definition of 'bradycardia'. But, it's not that cut 'n dried. Anyone who is male, quite fit, rested, and calm, will almost certainly have an HR near 45 BPM, sometimes much lower. When I was a younger buck, and a competitive runner, my resting HR 30 seconds after sprinting up two flights of stairs to sit on our john, the only one we had in the house, was a whopping 38 BPM. If you can believe that. So bradycardia, the official one, is only a problem if there are other things going on and if symptoms suggest the rate needs to be higher than what it reads. I have watched videos from cardiologists who say they need to lower that line to 50 BPM because 60 is too high to start fiddling with a 'low' heart rate. It's the same thing going on with blood pressure and what they feel the maxima and minima for both systolic and diastolic pressures should be in otherwise healthy people.
